If you are looking for something very unique this may be for you. There are very few of these in the States. Made famous on BBC, Mr Bean and Top Gear (the infamous "let see how easy it rolls" segment).
I can't really tell you much. I purchased it in 2008 with the intent of doing *something* with it (I envisioned a 900 pound electric car...). It has set in our barn for these past 8 years. I can't vouch that all the parts are there; it does appear that most of the important things are.
Missing back hatch glass (shattered); a fairly easy replacement. Only one front seat (doesn't look original, but then again, how would I know?). Back seat must be original as the padding is only 2" thick and terrible uncomfortable. One door needs fiberglass repair.
The vehicle comes with a "Oregon Salvage Title Certificate" and a bill of sale. I talked to the DMV (8 years ago) and they told me they would issue an Oregon MOTORCYCLE title if I brought it in for inspection; that it didn't need to be running, they just need to see it.
Price? There is nothing to compare it to! What are you thinking? Could we start the bidding at $900 (as-is)?
Here's a great video but don't let it scare you off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQh56geU0X8
By the way, in case you may be confused, this is a 1978 Reliant Robin NOT a 1965 Shelby GT-350.
