If the French or Germans had designed this car the UK press would have drooled over it and called it "chic" or some other pretentious nonsense. Beautiful motor.

Did anyone ever get ang decent heat out of the Heater, loved my Robin drove all over the Country in it , I would really love another one and I would buy one tomorrow if I had a drive to keep it on, One thing that pisses me off are these Idiot who make jokes out of it possibly helping towards its Demise, they were a brilliant car even though it took me the best part of a day to change a starter motor😅😅 loved them

Wooow awesomeee, pleashe share your widebody setup, i want to make Something like that to my 69

My first car was a 1969 Ford custom. Been looking for another one for over 30 years. Congratulations on yours. It looks amazing.

i owned a reliant rialto in 1988 to 1990, lots of fun, I am sure i got about 90 out of it! i know cuz i was flying down to fast lane on the M1!! Only got rid of it, cuz the gearbox was totally knackered!!

Best job I ever had working in the body shop but measured day work was bought in and costs escalated as it was piecework before

😮😢😢mi primer auto fue uno asi color azul perlado dos bramadores y llantas deportivas 😮😮aun me arrepiento de venderlo, saludos desde chile

Hi great video I have some 20 mm spacers and mini silverlight alloys can I fit 165 on instead of 145 buddy or would they rub

Been to visit this very same aircraft as my dads wife lives in a house not far from the airfield and one day as me and my sisters where out with our dad he told us that the Vulcan drifted of the runway and almost went on to the road but was stopped just in time

So Raw…the 2013-14 is the Raw muscle, that can and will kick all asses. This Super Snake gonna hunt down those who act tuff. So go ahead and be tuff, and I’ll show you RAW. Ya gonna have oil leaks and transmission fluid leaks, and even your radiator will also leak. ✌🏼

Any car with 55/45 f/r distribution that has over 600hp on 285 rear tires will swap ends if you don’t be careful with the throttle. My 500hp S197 GT on 305s would happily swap ends if I’m not careful. Lol

Please contact Robert Dunn of Aging Wheels. He has the only Reliant Robin in the USA. Or so we think. I know he definitely has some questions about it lol

You would have to be completely stupid to roll it or have hair that resembles pubic hair.😂

Nice car. I own # 13 of the signature edition.

My late father drove these he went from a norton 88 to a regal as my mum was expecting. the last one he had was a blue v reg robin sunroof and stainless steel exhaust i remember a holiday in cornwall from kent me my two sisters on the back seat and my little bro sitting on a tool box in the the boot area also towing a small box trailer happy memories

A guy at work sold me a 850 van, robin , failed mot , came back from slough on m4 got the thing up to 105 mph and still going, but only had 2 brakes so backed off!!

so Raleigh the bicycle company was was responsible for this mechanical abortion?

Seems they would have been an awesome basis for a small electric car, with the batteries and motors available today. And lighting, plastics, carbon, etc....

I saw one of these fly at an air show at McGuire AFB in the US back in the 1980s. Very impressive aircraft! And it's an impressive design. Close up, you can see that it's far more complex than you can see at first glance from a distance: The wing leading edge for example, has several angles rather than a smooth curve.

Nice car..nice video..excellent state of the car...this and the Regal 21 E are my favorite

My dad owned reliants for about 45 years, great little cars.

Why snake? 🌽

That's wonderful I'm glad they're preserving such a beautiful plane for everybody to see in the future it's a shame there's not enough spares to let these gorgeous aircraft fly once a year but they can't

That's a beautyful car❤

Short but great video for that UK legend! I'm french, however, as an aviation fan, i was always attracted by that big UK bird, and don't ask me the reason why, it was (and still is) like that! The "Victor" comes in second, and "Valiant" third, nevertheless, his majesty Vulcan was/is on top! I personally never watch one to fly, only through videos, and i hope that fiction join reality one day, before i definitively close my eyes! Good luck to all Vulcan to fly again, even if i know the reason why they can't today! "Merci beaucoup" to The Breakdown for post it!

Such a misunderstood car - I think almost as related to todays needs as when first conceived!

I saw the Vulcan fly at RAF Finningley Airshow 1990. When she took off, the ground shook and all the car alarms in the car park started going off!

Philosophically,all because people can,t get on in peace throughout the world ,which is sad.

Great work folks,have bookmarked you for a day out!

That was an awesome aircraft.

Glad you enjoy that piece of Americana Beast. It does what you tell it to do, it’s not a video game car. And that’s how a car should be. 💪🇺🇸🦅👍

When I was a child and down in Somerset one flew over me, what a sight and sound it was.

As a keen teenager I remember seeing 4 vulcans take off in 4 minutes from RAF Gaydon. What a sight what a sound. Fantastic.

I used to walk around these aircraft at RAF Scampton and Waddington with a dog. I didnt know about this aircraft and its group of volunteers, well done to you all. She is a credit to you all. Ex RAF Police.

I love the Vulcan, 426 is my local but thank you for everything you do ❤❤❤

Back in 64 my Father was assigned by GEC Marconi to the British Admiralty to help on the installation of Polaris into the Resolution sub, He worked on Polaris and then Trident until he retired in 97. Although Polaris signaled the end for the Vulcan, it remained his favorite aircraft. On the day of XH558 final flight, we happened to be sat in his garden enjoying a glass of whiskey. To our surprise, a shadow was cast on the garden, and from out of nowhere, XH558 appeared........it brought a tear to his eye........what a plane!

Had the absolute privilege and honour to meet Wing Commander Mike Pollitt and some of the other volunteers when I went down for a photo shoot last year. Many of the lads are ex RAF. So much respect for all of them for the incredible work they do in keeping this aircraft ins such condition so people like me can appreciate it.

I worked on this aircraft at RAF Waddingon,as an electrician, from 1968 to 1971 and then again 1981 to 1982. Nice to see it running again bringing back lots of fond memories.

One gorgous looking Aircraft...

I suppose as Maggie Thatcher killed the UK coal mines, Jeremy Clarkson Killed the Reliant company.

Cool car ! Thanks for sharing this with us !!!

Great job 👏 was great seeing you all on the day and showing you what we do, especially getting blasted by the jets as she pulled forwards 😂

Ah the memories my brother had the van in yellow in the 1960's, and later in the 1980's he had a saloon. I always loved the sporty sound that came from the exhaust.

Good production values. I looked into using British Pathé footage on my XL426 films but at £600ish per use on multiple platforms I felt it wasn't good value for money. Colour grading is spot on. Nice job.

My only experience with a Vulcan aircraft ( none flying of course) was as an Aircraft Apprentice at RAF Halton in the early 1960's. The dreaded " Aircraft Flying Controls" 3 week phase on the Vulcan Boulton Paul Flying Controls Units. We had to learn the operation and sequencing of these BP control units inside out and upside down leading to an exam at the end of the 3 week phase. They were complicated even with the cut-away units for instruction! Whoever it was who designed these BP flying control units should have sought medical help. Anyway on a brighter note. Move forward to September 2023 and I am proud to say that it was my Grandson who was on the private production and filming team for this TH-cam video you have just watched. Who would have thought that was going to happen 61 years ago.

Great video! Thoroughly enjoyed!!

The sound of freedom ❤

Keep the Vulcan flying, despite British air federation restrictions, don't stop vulcans ❤
