Re1iant Shitten - R1 engined 1976 reliant kitten 

This man is not afraid to die in shorts.

WHAT. HOW is this MASTERPIECE buried by the algorithm? That's completely unhinged

Love it, the great British eccentric is alive and well

Get this thing featured on motor addicts, they love own builds and special treasures like this. My mum and dad had a yellow one in the 70’s

A fantastic view of the ‘f@@king steering wheel.

There needs to be more builds like this. Total lunatic territory, but still awesome.

Love the switch panel, even you haven't got a clue what's going on. Mini's are a beast with R1 engines in them. This must weigh almost a bag of sugar, what a tool.

The wonderful world of Reliant

You need a No Airbags fitted. We die like real men. Bumper Sticker . Lovely build.

Even if your driving with enthusiasm at least the old bill will be looking for a bike 😂 top work 👊

Yes Please. Looks ace with the R1 clocks on the dash. Top, top work.

You have large balls driving that thing, it's awesome 😀

Blimey, I'm reminded of Wheelie Yellow!

Back in the late 70’s I had a Hillman Avenger 1250 DL, under the hood was a Lotus Sunbeam powertrain, much fun was had in that car.

Massive fun, glad it's not a Regal.

Brilliant! . It seems to handle quite well under 4k rpm, when it’s got all 4 wheels on the ground. 😊

Awesome build bro... would love to watch it being driven...might turn down an offer to join you in the passenger seat though 😂

your description of the buttons on the panel made me sub, what a great little motor B road slayer.

lovely small simple car you won't find a new car like that

They call them carbs throttle bodies... Awesome bit of kit....

This would have made a great build series

I absolutely love it. It’s a beast.💪💪

Brilliant!! I had a Kitten estate in 1977, and even in its standard form, it would give a really powerful car a good run for it's money in the London traffic light standing start up to about 20 to 30 mph!! It was an absolutely brilliant little car! I suggested to Reliant that they made an electric version, which would have gone well in the estate. Not interested!!. I think they would have done well with this as I am sure there were enough enthusiasts to have this as a run around, and the volumes would suit Reliant. They were happy days aggravating Porche owners! Ray Peto

Always fancied doing something with a kitten 😂 Nicely done, my man

Absolute weapon, love it. 😎

Made my evening I cant stop crying with laughter

PPC Magazine would have loved this. They are on RU-vid now

I stumbled across this gem, absolutely 💯 mental...😮😳😁

I have been wanting to do that for years to one..lol..ace

Are you on any medication? 🤣 Brilliant video, clearly your barmy. What fun for pennies - dont need a Ferrari or lambo to have fun do we 💪💪💪. 140bhp, fibreglass hull, drum brakes what could possibly go wrong 👍👍👍🤣

What a machine.

looks mental. probably about as safe as an R1 too lol

Have you considered putting a merlin engine into a shopping trolley? Might be worth a punt.

Mad as a box of ferrets ......love it 👍

Awesome! One suggestion though, not sure how you set up the shifter but a counter crank would not only change the upshift/downshift direction, but you could also set the ratio to give a shorter throw.

To drive, yes.! but as a passenger... nahhhh mate 😂 What a little weapon 👏

I would love that.

Yeah, cool, cool! That's a proper job 👏 👌 👍

You animal, love this

Bucket seats and a roll cage would be ideal. I want to do something like this to a Rialto at some point.

I want to see that sliding! ...but I doubt the transmission will be transmitting after a couple clutch kicks...

Super Hans

Purla, excellent!

Kitten more like a tiger

Great vid m8, i used to have one when i was 12, so much fun, rolled her afew times but she still kept going. Urs is fucking mental tho

You got your spray and your fuckinnn 😗🎵😗🎵

Wow this a lovely bit of kit, could you advise on how hard it is to do the conversion please as im going to be doing this in my robin 😀, thank you

That's just mental yet beautiful! ... 😂 Dude it's genius, unhinged, scary and I would love to be there when it puts some expensive main stream euroboxes in their place off the lights . Are you using the standard diff ? Is there space for maybe Mazda MX5 LSD if you are . Got a standard MX5 MK2 one at work we swapped out for LSD one but dimensions and fittings the same if you want some measurements.

You fcukin looney!! I salute you.......brilliant 😂

Just crazy loverly

Outstanding 🤗 (! Fucking not getting in that !!)

I wanna go

Fan-fucking-tastic

Now do an R1 Big bang engined Supervan 3. I would if I could find one. 😂

Probably weighs 450kg if that, power to weight will be off the charts.

Did you paint it with a roller and emulsion paint.....Nice build

I like your thinking 👍. Is there reduction gear/Box between engine output shaft and the kitten driveshaft? Cos ur putting alot of extra load on the bike clutch... Still awesome projects. Sounds good..

Fkn fantastic

Del boy and Rodney would love that!

Brilliant 😅

Nice one bud.

Mental

Fuk yeah!!! ❤❤❤

Thays cool as f#%k

How do you reverse it?

How would you insure something like this?🤷🏼‍♂️

Can you go a bit more in depth in how the drive train works?

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat TF?

I'd put some disc brakes on it.

Still an open diff or is it welded?

Your spoiled it it sounds like there's a bit of a blow on exhaust 😅

Mate, you, my fookin friend, are my sorta guy

I need to drive this daily (star)
