What happens when you combine 1920s engine technology, three wheels, and British stubbornness into one vehicle that refuses to die?
In this video, we explore the extraordinary story of the 1953 Reliant Regal, Britain's most mocked vehicle that became an unlikely durability champion. From its ancient Austin Seven side-valve engine producing just 25 horsepower to its revolutionary fiberglass body weighing only 112 pounds, discover how this three-wheeled oddity achieved over 600,000 miles without rebuilds while embarrassing prestigious marques. We'll uncover the engineering genius behind its simplicity, why British Railways and postal services trusted them for decades, and how tax loopholes and motorcycle licenses created a transport revolution that saw these peculiar machines outlasting everything else on British roads.
