In this episode of Vintage Car Chronicles, we uncover the fascinating history of Reliant, the British manufacturer best known for its quirky three-wheeled cars, particularly the Reliant Robin. Founded in 1935 and based in Tamworth, England, Reliant revolutionized lightweight vehicle design by becoming a pioneer in fiberglass body construction. While the Robin remains its most iconic model, Reliant also produced sports cars like the Scimitar, commercial vehicles, and even collaborated on international automotive projects, such as the Turkish Anadol and the Israeli Sabra Sport. By the 1970s, Reliant had grown to become the second-largest British-owned car manufacturer, just behind British Leyland. However, changes in regulations and market demand led to the decline of three-wheeled cars, marking the end of Reliant’s production in 2002. Join us as we explore how this niche automaker defied expectations, innovated in lightweight car construction, and left an unforgettable legacy in British motoring history.
