In September 2000 Reliant announced to the World that no more 3-wheelers would be made after February 2001. Reliant then manufactured 65 Special Edition Robins (Robin 65) as a tribute to 65 years of 3-wheeler production. Finished in gold paint and with leather trim and walnut dash the Robin 65 was of very high specification. On February 14th 2001 the last Robin rolled out of Reliant’s doors and it was assumed that the Reliant Robin would be no more. This was until B&N Plastics stepped in. After negotiations with Reliant to build the Robin under license to Reliant the Reliant Robin BN-1 started production on April 30th 2001 using the Robin 65 as a standard for the new vehicles. The history of the Robin therefore is still an open book that will hopefully be stretched over many more years to come.
