Reminds me of the Reliant Robin

I don't know but you should wear a helmet when driving it to hide your identity.

Reminds me about the top gear episode where they kept flipping it at every corner, one of the funniest episodes

"Thank you very much Phil Okie, out of The Human League"

- Least pianos don't tend to drop on the robins.

At least the one in the photo above seems to have the engine low, and over the two wheels. The freaking robin hat it up front, over that one... not wheel. No, not a wheel, a FULCRUM!

I dont get it.

If you MUST build a three wheeled car, why wouldnt you put the 2 wheels up front and make it front wheel drive??

At least then all the lone back wheel needs to do is tag along.

But it has Modern Amenities!
<like faux leather>

And an engine that makes 1 horsepower for every 3 pounds!
<so it's slightly less potent than an M600 engine>

The one where Hammond in the Morgan couldn't do the 0-100 challenge as he ran out of straight and had to brake before that silly thing ever made 100? Silly silly thing

I like the way the v twin engine sits in the front though.
