    Tour of Reliant Works 1993

    Search 3-Wheelers.comContact Me

    In 1993 I was lucky enough to get a tour of the Reliant factory in Fazeley, Tamworth by Barry Hughes.  My visit took place on the 8th April 1993 and I was told during this week Reliant made approximately twenty five Robins (three of which were left hand vehicles bound for Austria) and three Scimitars. On the production line it took 15 man hours for a single vehicle to pass from one end to the other.  Production of the Robin was all on one site at Tamworth though the Rialto was made elsewhere.

    On my tour I took a number of photographs and made a few notes.  These pictures can never be taken again as with Reliant moving to Burntwood in 1999 the whole of the Tamworth plant shown in these pictures has been rasied to the ground and a new housing estate has been built there.

    Reliant Remembered.

    The housing estate built on the former Reliant factory shown in these photos now have a reminder of the former buildings.  The entrance to the estate  (Scimitar Park) is called after Reliant's founder; Tom Williams Way whilst to date two other roads have been called after Reliant cars.  They are; Robin Close and Regal Close.

    These photos were taken with my watch.
