Hello again! :D

It's time for a look at one of those special kinds of cars, a carryover from the late 1940s that somehow managed to stay in production, spiritually, until as late as 2002. It's been the butt of every automotive joke for over half a century, and people in the UK are especially familiar with the sight of these things tumbling helplessly onto their sides.

But what is the story behind the Reliant Robin and its threewheeled stablemates?

In truth, the Robin and its kin, despite their simplicity, were much smarter than you might imagine, less a joke, and more a viable alternative for many working class customers up and down the UK.

I realise also I made no mention of the notorious Bond Bug, that can be found here:    • The Strange Tale of the Bond Bug
