  Reliant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reliant was founded in 1935 by T L Williams to take over making the Raleigh 3 wheeler delivery van which he had designed in 1933 and Raleigh no longer wished to make.
Reliant's own aluminium alloy engine is also used as the replacement for the Austin Seven engine by the 750 Motor Club in their Formula 750 motor sport.
Reliant has provided designs to several other manufacturers, including Autocars in Israel and Otosan in Turkey in the 1960s, and MEBEA in Greece and Sipani in India in the 1970s.

 Reliant Fox - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Reliant Fox is a small four wheeled Glass Fibre utility vehicle manufactured by the Reliant Motor Company in Tamworth, England between 1983 and 1990.
Reliant has exported technology and designs to several companies and countries, including MEBEA in Greece, but in the case of this car an almost "reverse" course was followed.
MEBEA, which had already built the Reliant Robin under licence, modified the four-wheel chassis of the Reliant Kitten in order to accommodate higher loads and developed the prototype of a light utility vehicle with glass-fiber reinforced composite body.

The Reliant Kitten was launched in 1975 as a replacement for the Rebel.
Generally, Kittens represent excellent value for money, and are worth roughly the same as the Robin.
It was obviously decided that Reliant could not compete in the highly competative supermini market with a hand-built car.

The Kitten is the rather more upmarket four-wheeled version of the three-wheeled Reliant Robin, familiar as the mode of transport of TV wheeler-dealer Del Boy Trotter.
The Kitten is clearly too small to be sent out on a real emergency in the city of Bristol.

Every car company is allowed at least one or two failures, but for the unfortunate Indian car company Sipani this would prove to be the fate of every model they made in their quarter-century of car building.
Reliant had aspirations to set up an empire of car industries in distant lands, which had also led to the formation of Autocars of Israel in the mid-1950s, Otosan of Turkey in the 1960s (now a Ford subsidiary) and Mabea in Greece.

 1980 Reliant Kitten DL Estate review
The GRP body, steel chassis and the interior trim were perfect, but the previous owner had bodged his own Reliant engine together from various other units, thus giving me a lot of headaches and ending up with more problems than there would otherwise have been.
The Kitten is front engined and rear-wheel drive, unusually for a small car, and this makes it feel very much like a sports-car to drive.
You sit very low to the ground and the power-to-weight ratio is in the order of 90 bhp per ton which is not bad for such an economical car.
