Given that the driving position is above the bogey axle, my first thoughts were that the vehicle had perhaps been designed for use in circumstances that required maximum manoeuvrability, eg cargo handling at ports, warehousing etc. However, flat bed vehicles always seem to get that job for obvious reasons.

When it came to manoeuvrability, the Scammell Scarab was the machine for the job by all accounts. It was a peculiar little vehicle that was much used on the railways and in ports. I can't help but think that cornering at any speed above walking pace would have been a character forming experience. Link

Have you ever driven a Reliant Robin?

That is one of life's 'pleasures' I am happy to have avoided.
Once, on a visit to the local fire station, one of the crew was talking about road accidents and the subject of the Reliant Robin came up. 'They burn quite nicely' was all he said.

I have! Funny clicky little gear lever. Cornering didn’t trouble me, but then I can’t ride a bike, and commuted to work in London in the early eighties on a Pashley trike ..... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
