1975 Reliant Robin deluxe panel van review from North America
"This is one of the most fun cars I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The thrust bearing went out at 79,000 miles. The starter casting cracked at 70,000. I have had to replace the light bulbs in the rear light twice in 19,000 miles. The radiator hose is soft and I will be replacing it while the car is down with the clutch replacement.
General comments?
The Reliant Robin is a real nice car.
I like the distance I can drive on six gallons of gas.
The car is quick for a 750cc engine and is fun to lift the rear wheel on corners.
The cabin is roomy and the instruments are well placed on the dash board.
The seats could be better for comfort.
