If you are a careful driver and only drive this three wheeled electric contraption slowly you'll be fine

Imp engine, transaxle and even an Imp dash console - may even have other Rootes parts. Shows how desperate Rootes/Chrysler were to make something back on the Linwood investment if they'd supply a little outfit like Bond. 

History of the whole set-up here:

https://www.bondownersclub.co.uk/bond-company-history

Interesting little vehicle - the missing back window could probably be formed again from perspex sheet without too much trouble and Imp parts are about. Looks great fun and peanuts to own and run. Probably dangerously fast too 😅.

Usual sad story of the company's demise. 

3441 found buyers before Reliant pulled the plug. Superceded by the Bond Bug which was a Reliant designed vehicle.

This is ridiculously cheap for a Facelift.
I wonder if said belts have caused damage to the engine. I mean, you could replace them and the car would instantly be worth £2k more. They're very popular in the JDM scene.
We're considering these for my Missus Panda replacement (more, because she won't drive a bigger car and these are ridiculously sized inside and she wants a CVT slushbox for very little money)

I bet the belt just needs tensioned up properly. Even if they are the 'wrong' pulleys it'll most likely just ruin the belt itself, not the engine.

I also assumed there would be more photos in the advert!

Is this your part of the world? I think this could be a proper bargain. The engines on these go on and on and I don't remember seeing a rotten one.
Yeah, they look like a box and have the aerodynamics of a brick, but this is Autoshite and we do things differently here.

Eh. Fort William is a good couple of hours (at least) from here.

It takes forever to get there even from 5 miles away, though. The roads around that area are shite and absolutely clogged with camper vans except during winter.

My experience of Scotland is that nipping to the shops is 2 hours 🤣
I guess when they're not clogging up with Camper vans, it's clogged with snow?

Interesting pic on that listing. Is this a high-speed action shot of someone's jeans crotch? Did they mean to post it here? I have so many questions...

 

Even my stiffy would be more prominent after pulling that Rover out of the garage.

No. Very pleasant indeed. 

Not exactly engaging, but the majority of people aren't Troy Queef looking to spank their cars with a dab of oppo. 

Most people want a quiet life and not to pay masses of tax, the Prius ticks those boxes admirably. 

TBH I'm quite impressed that Toyota managed to make something so complex relatively reliable and maintenance free. I do wonder if it's a loss-leader sold for brownie points so they can continue selling smoky Land Cruisers in UAE.

I had the misfortune to have a Qashqui on long term hire with “ that” gearbox. Six weeks of unremitting misery
