For the Bond in a man - Bond Bug 700 tricycle

January 28, 2015 — Jürgen Schelling 32

From 1970 to 1974, the English company Reliant produced the Bond Bug 700, which had three wheels as a special feature. Thanks to its snappy design (by Tom Karen) and low purchase and operating costs, the small sports car was popular, but still did not achieve large numbers. This report describes the history of this rare vehicle in this country and shows it in today's and then-current images, as well as in the sales literature.
