The Reliant Robin is a small three-wheeled car produced by the Reliant Motor Company in Tamworth, England. It was offered in several versions (Mk1, Mk2 and Mk3) over a period of 30 years. It is the second-most popular fibreglass car in history after the Chevrolet Corvette, with Reliant being the second-biggest British car manufacturer for a time.[2]Reliant Robin1977 Reliant Robin (Mk 1)OverviewManufacturerReliantProduction1973–1981 (UK)1989–2001 (UK revamped)2001–2002 (B&N Plastics)AssemblyTamworth, EnglandAthens, Greece (1974–1978, under licence)Burntwood, EnglandDesignerOgle DesignBody and chassisClassCity car (A)Body style2-door saloon[1]3-door estate3-door hatchback3-door panel vanLayoutFMR Front-mid engine with rear-wheel driveRelatedReliant Regal VanReliant Kitten[1]Reliant RialtoPowertrainEngine748 cc OHV I4[1]848 cc OHV I4Transmission4-speed manual all-synchromesh[1]DimensionsWheelbase85 in (2,159 mm)[1]Length131 in (3,327 mm) (saloon)[1]Width56 in (1,422 mm)[1]Height54 in (1,372 mm)[1]ChronologyPredecessorReliant RegalSuccessorReliant Rialto (MK.1)ContentsHistoryeditMk. 1editReliant Robin Mk 1The Robin was first manufactured in October 1973[3] as a direct replacement for the Reliant Regal. These models feature a 750 cc engine, but in 1975, the car gained a number of improvements including an engine boost to 850 cc. The Reliant Robin was well received in the 1970s because of good work executed by Ogle Design (who had previously designed the Bond Bug, and Reliant Scimitar) and affordable price, considering 70 and 85 mph (113 and 137 km/h) was possible, and orders increased with the 1970s fuel crisis. The final original version of the Robin rolled off the production line in 1982, and after a number of limited editions, including the GBS and the Jubilee, it was replaced by the restyled Reliant Rialto designed by IAD in Worthing, UK. The vehicle was also produced under licence in Greece by MEBEA between 1974 and 1978.Mk. 2editReliant Robin Mk 2In 1989, Reliant r
