Overhaulin'

Reliants and other 3 wheeler cars?

Has anyone ever owned one? I'm thinking of getting a classic regal supervan in the future, but I'm concerned about getting parts and also the steering. How is it honestly going around corners? The only videos I can find are when people are racing them like idiots. Where would you get parts for a classic car? How expensive are they? What is it that makes them more flammable and would it be possible to get a slightly newer one that isn't? What year should I be looking for if I don't want it to burst into flames? Also what would the insurance be like for a 24 year old woman? Sorry for all the questions! Regards.

1. Not all insurers would want to insure you due to the high rosk of it breaking down. You would get parts from the internet and specialist "dealers" never owned one but its the same with all old cars
2. Pick up a copy of 'Practical Classics' car magazine. There is a Reliant Owners Club on-line even! I owned a Regal and a Robin years ago. They were cheap to run with motorcycle tax, much lower than a car! Great cars and very reliable. Spares are easily obtainable, though some can be a bit pricey.
3. That car was Mr. Bean's mortal enemy and used in Tracey Ullman's "They Don't Know."
