We used to call them Plastic Pigs! They were useful though. If you didn't have a car licence, as many
bikers didn't then, you could drive one of these on a bike licence. Most of the bikers I knew, who had one,
had the van version.....
http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=118047&stc=1.....you could get a motorcycle in the back if you took off the front wheel.
In post-war England many ordinary people couldn't afford a car and this was a very cheap solution.
I remember that the going price for a working, legal, ten year old van was around $150!
The Reliant company became the second largest car manufacturer in the UK at one point! OH!!! The US Embassy in London had three Reliants!
For more fascinating stuff take a look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reliant

BUT the coolest Reliant was the Bond Bug (Bond was a company that was acquired by Reliant)

I would drive one of these! http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=118051&stc=1

New pics above^^

Bob, the whole Top Gear thing was a charade! They fitted a 12" wheel to one side at the rear and a 13" to the other rear
and a 15" wheel to the front hence it was extremely easy to roll!
