| Mr Bean. | |
|
| In many early episodes of Mr Bean a Reliant Regal 3/25 Super appears and always ends up suffering on its side after being nudged by Mr Bean's Mini. Various vehicles are used throughout the series though they always appear to be a Reliant Regal 3/25. I had an email from "Sidecar Jon" who wrote: in your 3 wheelers on telly page you mention the Mr Bean
episode where the Reliant is forced to reverse and turns over. My mate Dan arranged that stunt!. He said they tried to get the thing to turn over by driving but found it surprisingly difficult. And they eventually resorted to a ram fitted under the car to shoot it over! The poor car ended up cut in four bits with an angle grinder and dumped in a skip! |
