    You'll get sick and tired of your Reliant Regal 3/25.  The tough all aluminium engine has a tiesome habit of going on and on and on. (We expect a life of 100,000 miles before the cylinder liners need to be replaced.) You cannot boast to your neighbours about the revolutionary construction methods. (We mount our bodies on ridiculously old-fashioned steel chassis, in the belief that some timid soul like this kind of protection.) The glass-fibre body work will show no interesting signs of rust. (It will last for thousands of years and we haven't yet found a satisfactory way of destroying the stuff.)  You will never enjoy the status of big spending motorist.  (The Regal 3/25 returns 65mpg and some miserable folk do their motoring on as little a two pence a mile) Not widely exciting is it? But if you are the sort of wretched fellow who is interested in complete economy, reliability and durability, arrange a test run.

    Webmaster's note.

    An article in the Tamworth Herald on September 10th 1965 reported that Reliant had had a record boom in sales. At this point in history Reliant employed nearly 1,000 workers and was producing 10,000 vehicles a year.  This is why the Regal 3/25 became the World's best selling 3-wheeler to date.
