Forget sensible transportation—this was a go-kart for the road with a roof. Meet the 1970 Bond Bug, a vibrant, wedge-shaped, three-wheeled oddball designed not for families, but for pure, unadulterated (and slightly terrifying) fun on a budget.
🔥 In this video, we explore:
Its radical, youth-targeted design by Tom Karen of Ogle, featuring a single door, flip-up canopy, and that unforgettable tangerine orange paint.
The surprising parts-bin engineering: how it used the reliable 700cc engine and chassis from the humble Reliant Regal, but transformed into something wildly different.
Why this fun-focused, single-seat "ES" (Easy Strike) model ultimately remained a niche cult classic, overshadowed by its more practical Reliant siblings.
We see how the Bond Bug wasn't trying to be a proper car. It was a bold, playful experiment in minimalist personal mobility, capturing a very specific, cheeky spirit of 1970s British design that you either loved or just didn't understand.
What do you think? Could you brave the public roads in this bright orange plastic wedge? Let us know in the comments below!
