Cobra,

this is the sort of question that can easily be answered by using a search engine.

Not Quite,Nick! Top Gear did a segment where they tried to turn a Reliant Robin into a Space Shuttle! i faved a Verserion of it on youtube. Hobbes, the Question came about After i used Google,not before.Dan

[Hobbes]

OK, but the search URL I posted gives a fairly complete answer: no plastic kits, there are some 1:43 diecast models, and there's a paper model of the Reliant Robin Space Shuttle.

Why DO some people, Top Gear among them sometimes, insist on reversing the manufacturer and model? It's a RELIANT ROBIN, not a Robin Reliant. So nice that people here get it correct.

a car best forgotten -- as a passenger in one, I can say that the Robin feels very tipsy & dangerous -- TopGear & Mr Bean do not exaggerate !

While I was in the 6th form I had a weekend job rounding up shopping trolly's in a local shopping center carpark. We used to take back 20-30 at a time . On my first day there, while being shown around by the supervisor, we saw one of the then old hands swing a line of trolly's around a corner only to clip a Robins front wing as it tried to take the same corner in the opposite direction at speed. it flipped over onto its roof. Poor bugger inside was left dumped head first on to its roof. We couldnt stop laughing as we helped him out of the wreck.
