1. People all over the world are used to seeing cars that have 4 wheels, but that doesn't mean that 3-wheelers don't exist!

2. The Reliant Motor Company's Robin is still considered the worst car in the history of the UK automotive industry.

3. This vehicle in the UK was considered a tricycle, but not a full-fledged car.

4. ... this happened because of the lightness of this machine. Its weight is only 700 kg.

5. Reliant Regals have a special place in British popular culture as a symbol of British eccentricity.

6. Copies of this iconic car still appear for sale on auction sites. People are willing to pay a lot of money for them!

7. Since its inception, this car has become the butt of jokes in movies and on television. She also often cultivated in the clips of famous British singers.

8. The most famous Reliant-brand cars are the yellow van from the comedy sitcom Fools Are Lucky.

9. And in the popular comedy "Mr. Bean", a Reliant Regal Supervan III van is often found, which constantly either rolls over on its side, crashes into a pole, or simply turns out to be expelled from the parking lot, which in itself speaks of the clumsiness of this car.

10. It is worth noting that this car was very popular at one time, as it was very inexpensive, and taxes were levied on it no more than on a motorcycle.
