Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1976 Reliant Robin, family-owned since new, features a matching trailer and a host of modifications. With 145,550 miles, it has undergone a body-off restoration and engine rebuild, though its non-original features and the need for some reconditioning will likely influence its value.

Condition
6
The car has had a body-off restoration with a galvanized chassis fitted, the engine has been rebored and reassembled, and the gearbox has been overhauled, along with new brakes and shocks. However, it also has modifications like added rear windows and seats, a modified rear door, and a vinyl roof, indicating it's not in original condition. There is also moderate wear expected for a vehicle of this age and mileage. Therefore, it requires some reconditioning and falls into the 'Good' category.
