I laughed so hard at you yelling "wheeee!". And of course the "bollocks" license plate.

2020-09-30 13:20:01 +0000 UTCMy grandad had a few of these when he only had a motorbike licence and struggled/refused to get a car licence, one apparently had no first gear so hill starts involved a passenger pushing before jumping back in. That switch with the red light is the brake warning, in theory it should be connected to the handbrake and brake fluid reservoir. It's a switch is so you can press it and see that the light works. Had the exact same switch on my 1977 Land Rover which, inexplicably, had no other way of making the light come on. Loving the plate anyway, it's a perfect reference to something Jasper Carrott said in the 1970s about American vs British English. I suspect people are confusing this with the Isetta bubble car when it comes to reverse gear.

2020-09-30 07:06:15 +0000 UTCI guy I worked with only ever owned Robins. None of them had seat head rests so I don't think your seats are standard.

2020-09-30 05:21:53 +0000 UTCI was born in England and live in England throughout the time that these were made, yet even I can't explain why these were made and why anyone bought them except for people who had a motorcycle licence only, wanted to get about without getting wet and didn't mind dying every time they used it.

2020-09-30 02:18:24 +0000 UTCWe'll trade you a shipping container full of Reliants for as many Ford Crown Victorias as you want. Or, some other American land boat that should have gone out of production long before it did.

2020-09-30 02:15:32 +0000 UTC"stability... I have more of it because I'm on anti-depressants"... so PROUD of you to say that. Seriously awesome. Self-awareness and self-expression. You can teach the world this is ok to say.
