What's the name of this car?

Quiller · August 11, 2010, 03:05:06 AM

Moving (and grooving) on up

The girl on the left looks like ?'s sister.

woodinsight · August 11, 2010, 09:28:11 AM

...........and the girl on the right is sporting a real "beehive" hairstyle!

It is the Colliday, a microcar designed by Bob Collier.

Quiller · August 11, 2010, 02:02:25 PM

It is indeed!
Incidentally, Mr Collier also made a bizarre microcar with five wheels, three in front and two at the back. Only one of the front wheels (the centre one) actually touched the ground; the outer pair were there to make the car look like a four-wheeler!

The sweet "Chariot" I guess..

The pic doesn't explain that strange five wheel concept as the front wheels are invisible..

Quiller · August 12, 2010, 11:47:12 AM

I can't find my original Colliday pics I'm afraid - will have to spend time going through my files...

Very entertaining, but did you see five wheels?

Otto Puzzell · August 13, 2010, 03:02:55 AM

Yes. In the early frames, I saw tiny little wheels peeking out.

Maybe they're there to stop it from falling over? You know, like stabilisers on a kid's first bike?

Otto Puzzell · August 13, 2010, 04:51:08 AM

I think you are correct.

Did you see the Top Gear episode with Clarkson driving a Reliant Robin? Très funny!

No but there was an item in my local newspaper yesterday about some guy with a Reliant Robin who's getting increasingly cross because the kids push it over as they walk past it (a la Clarkson apparently!)

Allemano · August 13, 2010, 10:26:47 AM

Oh, now I see I've posted the wrong movie...

grobmotorix · January 29, 2015, 04:14:27 PM

More a big-ass than a bad-ass car

Wendax · December 13, 2019, 03:04:05 AM

The car exists and will be restored.
