• MORE RELIANT NEWS: I saw an ad today where somebody in the U.S. has a 1975 Reliant Robin Supervan for sale. Was entered in a rather third-tier show called the "Concours d'LeMon". They want $9,999 for it and claim A) Jeremy Clarkson hasn't tipped it over, and B ) it has not been launched into space. They went to great pains to point out that it is not a Royal Mail US Postal Service 3-wheeler converted to look like a Robin. Like somebody is building fake Reliant Robins!

Chassis doesn't look too terrible from what you can see in the pictures.  Nice to see some progress on this.

Must have missed this first time around! Looks a super little thing. Got a soft soft for ask things Reliant. Look forward to seeing how this goes 😊

Good work so far.

It's coming along nicely.  Getting rid of the crud so that you have something fairly clean to work with is a good morale booster.  Mine (MKVI) looked similar back in 1992.  In 2005 it was back on the road.  An easy record to beat  .
