A piece of lovable crap
Water pump, radiator, distributer, coil, alternator 3 times, all electrics, starter motor twice, exhaust pipe, exhaust manifold, all door door openers/window have been fixed, the carb needs rebuilding, and oh... I'm having the AAA tomorrow morning as the clutch just went!
As much as I hate it, I love it.

This is one of the most fun cars I have ever owned
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.
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.

"Thrust bearing" This car has thrust? I thought it gently meandered up to speed.
I've owned one for several years, can't fault them at all.
I've just bought a 1975 Super Robin, New York is never going to look the same again!
Please could you picture your cars so I can have a look at shape as we are looking to buy.
How did you import one into the USA? Perhaps it came in as a "grey" vehicle, as you had it modified to fit US standards.
Where in NY? I sold a 1975 Robin Super to a guy upstate and imported a 1999 Robin SLX on a 1983 frame.

I have a 1974 Reliant Robin Deluxe panel and love the car too.
