The chap down the road from me has purchased a Reliant Kitten to go with his Rebel. It's currently in two tone, yellow top half over silver bottom half. It's individual, that's for certain.

There's a Kitten on eBay that if it wasn't so far away might have been an impulse buy.

That Bond thing reminds me of a “car” I used to see in the early 90s driving about. It looked halfway between that and a Reliant Robin but was single seater, I think it had a handlebar on a boom like a sit-up recumbent bike, rather than a steering wheel and may even have had a twist throttle. It was baby blue with a white top.

Sounds like the Invacar posted above somewhere, they were adapted for hand controls.

Ooh yeah that could've been it. The rear roofline doesn't look right on that one but it may have been a soft-top. This one was more like it:

When I was an apprentice a million years ago, the workshop manager had a Reliant Robin.
He rolled it and instinctively put his arm out the open window. He said he thought it was quite a low speed, but apparently not.
Police charged him and his hand was a mess.

I assume people called them Robin Reliants as it sounds more like a person's name
