FridgeFreezer Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 That looks like a great little runabout! Tidy job, good to see a rare vehicle saved too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Smith Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Is anybody else thinking "I want one" now? I had a Supervan 3 before passing my car test, and despite it falling over and trying to kill me, I still have a soft spot for Reliants. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve b Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 You'll need a bigger truck than that to clear up after tomorrow's weather bomb has blown though I fear . Are you booked on the Ipswich to Felixstowe run with it ? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you booked on the Ipswich to Felixstowe run with it ? Steve Yes, I think the 90 and tipping trailer will be getting an outing after tomorrow. Could be a decent restock of firewood though I have got the Ant and my SWB Series IIa booked in for the Ips to Felixstowe run. Also plan to take them both and my old mans 1929 Morris Cowley to Helmingham hall sports and classic again this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escape Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I may be wrong, but I think I spotted an Ant in this videoclip: For those who can't stomach watching the entire clip, because they don't like pirates and/or metal, or are too big a fan of Lady Gaga to appreciate a good parody, at 1:22 the pirate inmates drive off in a 3-wheeled utility vehicle that to my untrained eye (and rum soaked brain) looks like a Relian Ant. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escape Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 It could very well be. I saw 3 wheels and immediately thought Reliant. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top marks though as it was missing out on a TM703 that led to the Ant in the first place! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that one too - didn't get a close look as I was being dragged in the direction of the stables by my 7 year old to go and stroke some horses. I did however find a nice little retirement runabout. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
