I thought I'd post another picture of a Robin..................in this case a Reliant Robin! Not something you see very often nowadays. I spotted this one in Emsworth.

Link to Wickipedia for those interested in this classic motor vehicle : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reliant_Robin

I like the nod to the TV series "Only Fools and Horses" in the advertising slogan on the side of the vehicle.

My Dad has one of these when I was a kid. It was "interesting" to be inside when cornering, especially in high winds.............but we all loved it.

Oooh, I love it! Who wouldn't love riding in a car that makes everyone smile and point? There have been a couple of 1950s three-wheeled cars here, too. Short-lived, but cute.

Thank you all for your comments and stars. These cars were quite popular in their day and were commonly seen on the road. They were made mainly of fibreglass with a motorcycle type engine.

Our next door neighbours had a green one for a time and it was fun watching it set of and go round the corner!

Keith Burton club has replied to Andy Rodker club
There's quite of few of these around still.

My Dad had one when I was very young and we used to go all over the place in it. His one had no reverse gear, so if you needed to reverse you had to push it :-))
