The three wheeler in the UK was taxed and licensed as a motorcycle which was a lot cheaper that a four wheeler. Hence the Reliant Robin, Bond Minicar etc.

#14 The 1955 BMW ISETTA: In the late 1950's, early 1960's, I was in elementary school and the principal had one of those cars. One day when I was sick, he took me home in it. I'll NEVER forget that car!!

For a 3 wheeled car to be stable, you just have to put 2 wheels at the front & 1 at the back. Problem solved.

You forgot to mention that the Lamborghini Marzal effectively was a trial for the more conventional and very successful Espada. The fully glazed gull-wing doors were not such a good idea, because of heat build-up and lack of modesty for ladies.

Instability with the Reliant Robin became a total non-issue if you fitted 20mm spacers on the rear wheels. Yep. 20mm on both sides was all it needed. I'm surprised Reliant didn't take notice of what so many owners were doing and make them standard fitment. The 850cc Robin was actually pretty quick off the mark for its day due to having an excellent power-to-weight ratio and low gearing. I used to love giving early VW Golf GTIs a run for their money at the traffic lights, although the drivers of said Golfs were generally none too happy if they were beaten by a vehicle they'd just been laughing at!

Sorry, but retractable hardtops have been around since well before that Ferrari version. 1957-59 Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner comes to mind. It was not even manually operated, and became a full convertible with the top down. Yes, it was a completely different mechanism, but it still was a retractable hard top.

@@jonmower3680The record for the fastest production car is not the same thing as the “land speed record”. Even the LSR for wheel driven cars with a regular internal combustion engine was well over 400 MPH in 1979. The Bulldog never made it into production, with just one prototype built. So how it could have been the fastest production car is beyond me.

Poor presentation. Poorly written. Often poorly pronunciated foreign words. Ferrucio Lamborghini is not Enzo Ferrari, as your picture in the Lamborghini Marzal segment suggests. The Timbs Special was inspired by the late 1930’s Auto Union Streamliner driven by Bernd Rosemeyer. The Bugatti Atlantic that inspired the Chrysler Atlantic was done in the 1930’s, not 1940’s, when World War II was going on. And that “Italian” red two wheeled concept car driving around in “Italy”, has Tennessee plates, and was the 1967 Ford Gyro-X concept, made in America… Etc, Etc. Please do your research next time…

Next time you are going to produce a video try something knew read the books that give the accurate history of cars before you make an arse of yourself. There were cars in the 50s that could convert from a hard top to a convertible . I doubt you have ever driven a convertible by the stupid and totally inaccurate comment you made about opening a window. I have to wonder have you actually driven or spent you life in the CGI world. I gave up at this point because clearly nothing you said after that would be accurate. Mines 100 and 100 thumbs down is what you rate.
