I've got a "stunning" LOL little yellow Reliant Robin for sale.
I bought two to make a trike and keep the other one for spares but I could do with the space.
This one is a 1980 850cc Reliant Robin Super. Body type on the log book says Tricycle and taxation class says Tricycle, so you should be able to exploit one of the few MSVA loopholes left.
Before me it had the same owner for 22 years and its MOT ran out last October before it was laid up and I bought it not long ago. Its in good enough nick to get MOT'ed as it is before you strip it down to build your trike apart from the battery needs a good charge. The only way that I can vouch for the engine, gearbox and back axle is that I drove it 120 miles last week to get it to my house with no problems.
Officially you need to trailer it away unless you're daft and immune to immense embarrassment like me.
Make me an offer ( £100 ono ) because I've got another project of the easy to store two wheeled variety to think about.
Also I've got the e-mail address of a guy in South Yorkshire who's got a proper Rialto 2 back axle for sale if anybody wants one for £35.00 and can fetch it. I've found one closer to home.
