Yesterday @JorvikAngler mentioned the Sinclair C5 so I thought I’d better add it to this sequence on three-wheeled vehicles. Like the Morgan EV3 prototype I posted yesterday, the 1985 C5 was a white British electric three-wheeler but there the resemblance ends. Highlights - Lotus chassis, ‘under-thigh’ handlebars, single 12V lead acid battery for claimed twenty mile range. Pedals as back-up. Pics taken: #NationalMotorMuseum Beaulieu, 2023.

After yesterday’s TV star Supervan, I thought it would be interesting to go right back to the beginning of the Reliant three-wheeler passenger car story. Meet the very first Reliant Regal, which was launched at the 1952 Motor Cycle Show. I’m guessing that was an indication of the market Reliant was going for - buyers who wanted a step-up in practicality from a two-wheeler without spending too much money.

Yesterday I explained how the design of the 1961 Simca 1000 owed much to its maker’s then main shareholder, Fiat. But within a few years, Simca was controlled by Chrysler, bringing the 1000 under the same corporate roof as Rootes’ Hillman Imp, a British rear-engined car of similar concept, albeit with two doors rather than four. The Imp was produced until 1976, the Simca until 1978. Pic taken: #NationalMotorMuseum, Beaulieu, Hants, 2023.
