Reliant Robin Van

This is just up the road from me.

What do people reckon it would cost to restore it?

I'd do all the body work prep myself so I'm trying to get a few opinions on what you think it would cost to rebuild the engine and fit it, a bit of welding underneath and a full repray.

Apparently they go for around £8000 when restored.

GET IT!!!

I'd only really be prepared to pay a grand for it.

I can see a full repray being the best part of 1k?

The engine rebuild and install another 1k?

Plus there's all the other bits that are missing.

Bring it to the unit and let me OFAH it!

I've offered a grand for it 🙈😂

Not surprisingly he declined my offer:

I can't see how he thinks it's worth 2k when there's a complete van on there for 1800 quid.

😂😂😂

When I'm a bit better of financially I will definitely get myself a full Trotter spec one.

I just can't risk spending 2 grand and then having a few grand on top to shell out.

It seems there's a bit of money to be had renting them out for various things, stag do's and events etc.

 

[Scrooge]

They're even hired out for weddings lol

Genuine leather upholstery, do you know the East African gazelle became extinct for this model? A sacrifice well made I'd say.

I used to work for a Reliant Dealership:flushed:, very simple things to work on but access is a bit fiddly on somethings,
Most parts are still available off the shelf, offer £1500 and get it put away until you have the time to do it up.

I fancy a Reliant........Scimitar!



And drop a Honda S2000 engine and running gear in it!!

 

[Chris_Beer]

Love everything about it

Engine in the boot, the locks, the body, all of it

I would chuck a F4R engine in it, live the dream, then sell it 5 years later for £500 because the belts need doing
