Whether it's the same car or not I'm not sure, but it was a Peel P50 that J Clarkson drove through the BBC

Nah, 'Darling' will be taxing them £1000 a year next time if more than two are in use on the mainland.  ;D

Found it - same car ..... not suprisingly. ;)

I've been passenger in a 1963 Reliant Regal. It's a bit scary! No seat belts, flat out at 50 mph although your ears are starting to bleed at 40 & the most obviously a wheel missing! ;)  :y A Peel must be terrifying

NCAP, Probably minus, -2  ;D ;D

However for an alternative that looks good, how about the Bond Bug http://www.3wheelers.com/bbug.html There are still a few about, about 2500 were originally produced, and the chassis looks to have a fair bit of steel in it (Good idea in a crash!). Now one of these with an up to date engine, or even electric could be quite good. Anyone fancy starting up the Reliant business again ?

I've always fancied a Bond Bug. Reckon they'd go quite well with a GSXR1100 lump up front. :y Cheap on the road tax as well.

Lifting the front wheel could be an issue, I guess.  ;D

There's one with a Hyabussa engine in somewhere.

I think it might be this one ....

Yes, but I like the Bond Mini car rather than the bug, one hell of a sleeper and was originaly powered by a motorcycle engine.  :) :) :)
