What could be the most dangerous car ever? How about a Reliant Robin with absolutely no rollover protection? Yes, some genius chopped the top of this rollover-prone three-wheeler and added no roll bar.
The seller claims this was ‘professionally chopped’, if there is such a thing, and that the windshield frame is reinforced. We’re not sure we trust that. Apparently, this ‘car’ can do 60 MPH, if you dare. Good news is at least some states allow this to be registered as a motorcycle, so you can risk lives at low cost and with fewer registration hassles. You might even be able to use a carpool/HOV lane!
If you bought it, would you install a roll bar?

Yep, there’s that classic Robin from end, but with no top and seemingly no provision for rain protection.
Good news – there’s still a back seat, so you can kill four people at once!
Menacing?
Why yes, it’s all purplish-blue from this angle. Note the awesome, cigar-like exhaust pipe.
There’s a tiny put of exposed storage, so this is technically a pickup.
These were all right-hand drive, so this should be no surprise. The interior is, well, functional, but that aftermarket Grant GT wheel is oddly sporty.
Given nothing to keep rain out, the wiper isn’t really necessary and has been converted to a flag holder. Oddly, it’s an American flag on this British car.
Here’s the 850CC monster!
