The Reliant Regal Supervan: an old three-wheeler

The article discusses the 'Reliant Regal Supervan,' a three-wheeled vehicle famously driven by characters Del Boy and Rodney Trotter in the British sitcom 'Only Fools and Horses.' The article highlights how many people mistakenly believe the car is called a 'Robin Reliant,' when in fact it was known as the 'Reliant Regal Supervan' during its production between 1953 and 1973. It notes that this model was a precursor to the later Robin Reliant, which was produced until 2002. The Reliant Regal Supervan was classified as a tricycle under UK law due to its low weight, allowing it to be driven with just a motorcycle license. The article also mentions that the Supervan had two passenger seats and was used to carry additional items, including family members like Grandpa Trotter and Uncle Albert, who often rode in the cargo area.
