    Thanks. And of course, the vehicle in question's proper name is Reliant Robin, not Robin Reliant.

    I know.

    I'll get my coat.

    Or indeed the Reliant Scimitar which was an excellent car, but he did say

    I don't like the 'flat' arch style you find on most modern cars

    Then I think the car for you is the Lancia Strato's, the only car I know that comes with a round or square arch choice (assuming you choose group 4 bodywork).

    Also, despite what Top Gear may say, is the first car I know of to have an apostrophe in the name. Not the Cee'd.

    They used to sell them just around the corner from my house, great looking cars in the flesh

    Unfortunately the dealership changed hands and they now deal in lots of grey imports, I like Skylines and S14's as much as the next guy but I do miss the forecourt full of Reliants some days!

    lol, well perhaps I have my priorities upside down as I am sure that would be a perfectly capable car.

    However, whilst out and about in my noisy smelly and not at all watertight if I get caught in the rain Stratos replica, if I were to chance upon a Kia I would not be thinking "I wish I could swap"

    Apologies for the squared arches for those that don't like them
