This is My Reliant Robin Reliant No. 15
In 2000 it was announced the final Reliant Robin would be built after 65 limited editions were made, it was named the "Reliant Robin 65" and has a very high specification. All 65s have gold metallic paint, red and grey leather seats, red carpets, walnut dashboards, white dials, minilite alloy wheels, premium stereo systems, electronic ignitions and gold plaques on the dashboards which are numbered to each individual car and have the original owners name engraved onto it, the selling price was £10,000 and the very final Reliant Robin finished on Valentine's Day 2001, this car was given in a giveaway in the Sun newspaper.

I have in the rear of my MK2 a set of the 65 leather seats, got off ebay for a tenner too lol and immaculate, picked from the same seller a NOS SU carb still in its wax paper and its stamped SU gaskets, paid £25 for that and it has given superb service replacing the worn spindle SU that came with my Robin. Have kept an eye out for a set of the front seats but I put MC2 seats in the front as the original seats were destroying my back and shoulder an injury borne of parachuting injury, crashes on my Vespa and a Lada Riva that all but destroyed my left rotator cuff :( The MC2 seats despite being cloth are the same shade of grey as the 65 rear seats :D

@9579philip
@9579philip 4 года назад
That's correct bud. Oh and gold metallic paint. and red and grey leather interior. plus blue carpets. must not forget the white dials as well. also every optional extra you could get for the time fog light, cigarette lighter clock which some didn't come with. Also you got (for its time) premium stereo system. oops must not forget the stuff you cant see that you get extra. Galvanised chassis. upgraded electronics and ignition system. Yeah so your right just a normal reliant robin. Oh and the ultralight alloy wheels. That they stuck on only the best mini coopers. That cost £70 each.

Well lada did the same thing. The same design for ages. And yet success. But they haven't changed exterior unlike reliant who did. And the dash is basic like whats wrong with it? Nothing there is wrong its all in your sight its not as if the fuel guage is under your seat
