The Reliant Robin was introduced in 1973 to a surprised and skeptical public, but the 70 miles per gallon fuel economy and affordable asking price were enough to sway a few folks who were not put off by a lack of sway bar. Find this 1980 Reliant Robin offered for $2,500 in Downingtown, PA via craigslist. Tip from Steven.
From the seller:
1980 Reliant Robin. Recent new tires battery & tune up. Current Pa. title & antique tags. I'm trying to thin out my collection of cars. I really haven't driven this car all summer. It could use a good looking over and some tlc but does start right up & runs & drives. Please, serious inquires only & sorry but no tests drives (it is a Robin) , though I am happy to drive you around and answer any questions.

DeleteLOL!
DeleteThe way the Robins all smoke the tires on starting is kind of a giveaway this video is CGI - it's still pretty funny though.
DeleteI don't care who you are... that there is some funny stuff...

'Man, I thought I'd bust a gut I laughed so hard!
ReplyDeleteSavings per year as a motorcycle; $72. The embarrassment at cars and coffee: priceless.

ReplyDeleteEvery time I see one of these I think of the Top Gear Space Shuttle!
