The Appeal
"Lovely Jubbly!" Here's one for the Only Fools and Horses fans, a Reliant Regal Supervan dressed up in the famous livery from the nation's favourite classic sitcom. This 1973 example has been carefully turned into a tribute to the Trotters' famous three-wheeler, complete with appropriate decals and touches that make it a real head-turner at classic car shows.
Mechanically, this Supervan is not nearly so down at heel as its Only Fools and Horses livery would imply. It has benefited from a replacement gearbox and clutch, along with new brakes and brake lines throughout. The vendor reports it picks up speed well, cruises comfortably at 60 mph, and has recently completed a 150-mile journey without issue. The body is described as solid, with the characterfully patchy exterior finish very much in keeping with the spirit of the show.
The vendor says this vehicle brings smiles to everyone who sees it. After buying it back, having regretted selling it the first time, their reluctant sale presents an opportunity for a new custodian to take the wheel.WhatsApp Image 2026-05-11 at 12.51.32 Nikhil Thakrar.jpeg613.65 KB
