Bizarre three-wheeled car collection discovered in garden including Del Boy classic & ultra rare Bond Bug
MOTOR fans got a good look at a bizarre three-wheeled car collection that’s kept in a guy’s front garden.
Amongst the rather odd motors is a Del Boy classic from Only Fools and Horses and an ultra rare Bond Bug.
The YouTube star and motor fan known as “ImStokze” and his pal Chancey got an invite from the owner to go and take a look at his three-wheeler collection.
While going to meet the guy, Stokze says at the beginning of the footage; “I wouldn’t mind having a go in a three-wheeler. I think it would be quite fun.”
He added: “Chancey said we could do some three-wheelers and I was like, hmm… Do I really want to do a three-wheeler video?”
But he did become interested when Chancey said there was a Bond Bug.
Having arrived at the man’s house, Chancey described the cars as a “mad collection”.
The guys check out the Reliant three-wheeler which has been done up as a replica of Del Boy’s motor in the classic BBC TV comedy Only Fools and Horses.
It’s complete with furry dice dangling from the rear view mirror.
The car is in reality a 1973 Reliant Regal Supervan III.
It has seen better days and while there is an engine fitted it’s not working so the guys can’t take it for a spin round the block.
Stokze said: “This is a pretty good one.”
Then when sitting inside, he adds: “It feels like you’re in one of those amusement rides.”
The pair then take a look at the Bond Bug as the owner said he paid £900 for it.
While the shell of the car is there, that’s pretty much it as there’s not even an engine and the seats are missing.
The owner said: “It’d be a really cool thing to drive. I can’t wait to drive it, I’m telling ya.”
“That’s 1973 as well. So that’s 50 years old too.”
The owner said that when he bought it, it was in a garage and it was all “in bits,” adding he had to put it all together himself.
Stokze: “Thing is, it’s an investment.”
The owner thought only around 3,5000 were ever produced and that probably only 500 are still around.
Another three-wheeler is in the guy’s possession, which once again has seen better days.
This one has been done up like it’s an Italian police car – but this one won’t be catching any criminals any day soon as it doesn’t have any tyres on the back.
