No.23 - the Reliant Robin kit car

So it's lighter than a Robin, but has a lower centre of gravity. Could be a pretty good laugh. I think there's a lot of scope to change a few of the parts and sort out the bodywork with 7 pattern items and it could look very much like a 7 only with 3 wheels

The gearstick knob probably says it all. The seats look suspiciously like plastic chairs with the legs cut off. Terrifying machine!!

The important question is....will it wheelie?

Handy it kind of looks like a coffin, save time transfering you just stick a lid on it and drop it in the ground

I am sure the builder had a good reason for not mounting the rear numberplate in the centre of the tub, but I can't figure it out.

Interesting way to die indeed.

Hit something and that bonnet will most likely slice your head off.

Get hit from the rear, and the "boot lid" will most likely slice your head off.

Way to go!

I applaud crap like this.

Damn sight more interesting than most stuff on the road, even if you would have to be certifiable to drive it.

I rather suspect that such a device would be impossible to build these days, what with the SVA/IVA.

Before long we won't even be allowed to modify our own cars, let alone build our own stuff. Then we won't be allowed to service them.

We will all end up driving Priuses, reminiscing about the good old days when we used to fettle our own cars.

Reminds me of the kermit green 2.1 pinto on big carbs powerd Robin reliant . that used to turn up down Chelsea cruise and annoy the bib by doing wheelies across vauxhall bridge and along the embankment
