Reliant Robin

The Reliant Robin was a three-wheeled passenger car of the British manufacturer Reliant.

The car was first made in 1973 with a 750 cc four-cylinder engine and was available in two models, the ordinary sedan and station wagon. In 1975 was the Robin with a stronger 850 cc engine. The body is self supporting and building is of polyester, creating remarkable creations of can be made. It's easy to transform them into, for example, a cabriolet.Production of the first series Robins stopped in 1981. The second series followed In 1989 Robins, which is light compared to the first series were updated. In 2000 followed the third series there is also a special version from Robins and came to celebrate the 65 anniversary of the Reliant factory; the Robin 65, each with a unique number.

The Robin could for the law both a passenger car as a motorcycle are. One did the Robin classify as motorcycle, then was one of the requirements that the car had to weigh less than 400 km (the same way as passenger car qualified Robins weighed). This law changed in the 1990s, making a driving evidence was required for driving in a Robin. The Robin riders who already owned their vehicle before the legislation changed, were given a ' half ' automobile driving evidence, with the notation "only for vehicles under 400 kg".Changing the legislation in the 1990s marked the end for Reliant in Netherlands. In Netherlands is not liable for the Reliant Robin APK because he weighs less than 400 kg, in Belgium, it is not possible to get on a Reliant Robin badge.

There are several clubs at home and abroad of these vehicles.

The Robin also has a lesser known four-wheeled little sister called the Reliant Kitten, which pretty much looks the same. The front, however, was different, because this is not a wheel in the middle is the engine and therefore could be placed further forward. ==Racing[ Edit] == Not only are there still races held with the Reliant Robin in England, in the past, there has been been a private racing series in Britain, where the cars equipped with the 750 cc engine of a Robin, by a large number of modifications to the engine block one increased the ability of 40.5 HP to over 60 HP
