Robin - Alive and Well

Just saw on local news, a guy who is a huge fan of Del Boy, purchased a Reliant Robin on EBay for £900. It was in pitiful condition - the only thing that worked was the wipers !
Undeterred, he set about transforming it and he did a superb job. Even down to the writing on the sides 'Trotters Independent Traders' - 'Paris - Rome - Peckham'
The only problem is when he goes out in it everyone wants to talk about it, so a small errand takes a long time .....
He now hopes to get a job when garages see the fab work he has done on that car - hope he succeeds

He deserves a good job with skills like that Patsy. I found a picture of the car that gave us many laughs.

Not particularly Paul and it was very uncomfortable in the back of a Robin
