Manufactured by the Reliant Motor Company, the Reliant Robin (sometimes incorrectly known as the Robin Reliant) is a small car with only three wheels. This, along with its light weight allows it to be driven on a motorcycle license in Britain.
The Reliant Robin enjoys something of a special place in British culture as the archetypal comedy car. One of the most famous Reliant examples is not actually a Robin: the yellow three wheeled car belonging to Del Boy and Rodney Trotter (characters in the long-running sitcom Only Fools and Horses) is actually a Reliant Regal Supervan. In another comedy, Mr Bean frequently comes up against a Regal Supervan, which usually tips over as his only marginally larger Mini zooms past.
