As an avid Robin fan, The Hawk showed a keen interest in this new quarter-tonne pickup from Reliant. Features on the truck include a specially designed side-opening tailgate which allows easy access. On the SLX models, the drop tailgate enables a europallet to be loaded. Optional extras include an external roll bar and spotlights. The pickup is powered by a Reliant 84acc alloy engine and can safely carry a payload of 254kg (That's 5cwt in old money). Of course the feature that most impresses the Hawk is the fact that you can tax the Robin Pick-up for the same cost as a motorcycle! In fact, so impressed is the old bird, that he is even considering taking up a window-cleaning round ( what, again?—Ed) as an excuse to drive this nifty set of wheels about town. The only snag is, what with his vertigo, he wouldn't be able to get any higher than street level. And the chances of
persuading Foden up that ladder
with a squeegee tied to his tall are slim to zero. The Reliant
pickup costs £8,056.55 inc VAT.
