Topic: Solved TGF-194: Reliant 7cwt prototype, 1934-5

I'd like to know the correct name of this three wheeler, and the year when it was produced.

Reliant 7 cwt, 1935 UK.
And, no, I did not use Google SBI!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know you didn't use SBI...I know your ability!   The answer is correct;  this is the very first prototype that Tom Williams with the help of some collegues realised when he came out from Raleigh; it had many Raleigh parts and a 600cc Jap engine. I suppose the correct year is 1934, anyway it may be 1935 too.

Horrible things!
I remember our greengrocer delivering to our house in one when I was a small boy, and wondering why on earth anyone would ever want such a horrible little van..!

[targhediferro]

Perhaps horrible, but I think that everythink built after 1975 is much more horrible with all that plastic everywhere...between a Reliant 7cwt and a Suzuky Wagon R, for istance, I would have no doubt!
