The Reliant Regal - and its companion car the Reliant Robin - enjoy a special place in UK popular culture as symbols of Britain's eccentricity, appearing as 'props' and even 'stars' of TV and film productions and at public events, including the London 2012 Olympics.
The Reliant Regal Supervan was a light-commercial version of the original 3-wheeler Reliant Regal with a side-hinged rear door. The marque was manufactured between 1953-1973 by the Reliant Motor Company in Tamworth, who we are sure would not have foreseen the vehicle's eventual and peculiar cult status.
Our latest livery comes in a light beige colour scheme with black chassis and interior with silver exterior trim and is registered NDR 233J.

Oxford Diecast Reliant Regal Honey Beige – 1:76 scale model (manufacturer part number 76REL004) represents the British Railways late‑crest period.
The model is a replica of the Reliant Regal Supervan, a light‑commercial three‑wheeler produced by the Reliant Motor Company in Tamworth between 1953 and 1973. The Supervan featured a side‑hinged rear door and was the commercial variant of the standard Reliant Regal.
The livery is a light beige finish with black chassis and interior, silver exterior trim and the registration plate NDR 233J. The vehicle has become a noted icon of British popular culture, frequently appearing as a prop in television, film and public events, including the London 2012 Olympic Games.
