1974 RELIANT ROBINRegistration number: RUN 557NChassis number: TBCEngine number: TBCMileage: 40, 980 miles recordedExterior: BlueInterior: Black leatheretteAn appealing early example of one of Britain’s most distinctive three-wheeled cars, this 1974 Reliant Robin is an increasingly uncommon sight on today’s roads. Introduced in October 1973, the Robin quickly established itself as an economical and practical alternative to the conventional family car. Manufactured by the Reliant Motor Company in Tamworth, its lightweight fibreglass body, steel chassis and distinctive three-wheel configuration made it a uniquely British proposition. As an early survivor from the model’s inaugural production period, RUN 557N is particularly noteworthy. Finished in blue with a contrasting black leatherette interior, it retains the unmistakable simple character and charm that have made the Robin an enduring motoring icon. The odometer records just over 40, 980 miles, supported by the vehicle’s online DVLA MOT history. A tow bar is also fitted, adding a practical if somewhat hopeful feature. Reported to start and drive well, this characterful little three-wheeler would make an engaging addition to a collection of unusual British vehicles, as well as an enjoyable companion for classic car gatherings and shows. With its early production date, appealing colour scheme and distinctive design, RUN 557N represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a rare survivor from the formative years of this much-loved British classic. This vehicle is located near from Newton Abbot, Devon TQ13 where it will need to be collected. Motorscan report & videos available on request.
