The Robin was introduced by Reliant in 1973. This three-wheel car became famous not only for its low cost and simplicity, but also for its peculiar design and light weight, which allowed it to be classified as a motorcycle in some countries, making it cheaper to maintain. Drive sent to the rear wheels, the Robin had a manual transmission and different engine options dependiong on its generation: 748cc inline four (MK I), 848cc inline four (MK II - MK III) and 875cc inline four (MK II - MK III). It was available as coupe, estate wagon, or van. The Reliant Robin was produced until 2002.
