Point is, you hate it, I hate it but someone has used what ability they have to create something in the spirit of special building. It looks to have been built to a certain standard that is acceptable. I have seen some hopeless, poor quality and probably unsafe creations around on the Bay.

I like the idea that the front wishbone mounting points are fitted so you could make it a 5 wheeler! rack would get a bit complicated though. Wonder what the V5 says?





Phoned the local ramblers club today, but the bloke who answered just
went on and on.

Probably an unmolested Robin chassis, so Reliant sports 2 seater or similar I'd expect.

Based on the book 'How to build a Sports Car from old Canteen Chairs and Formica Table Tops and Sell It'.

Remember out there boys and girls; "There is one born every minute", so get cracking.

agree with that too, he's clearly very proud of it, and why not?
my car might not be to everyones taste, but i like it, and 7's might not be to everyones taste either, but he's happy with his car, and good luck to him. i think he needs the luck for the sale... lol

from the ad itself:
"registered as a reliant tricycle"

hmm, got a feeling it should have had an SVA and didn't... doesn't mention when he built it right enough.
