Topic: ..weird three-wheelers !

[coverman]

Having a ride in a Bond Bug should cure your mania completely; that is assuming you have any discernment whatsoever. A well made kit car can be purchased for
less than a restored Bond Bug can these days, and that will offer real performance,braking, roadholding in an SVA or IVA approved vehicle, with the degree of discomfort that you obviously crave.

I remember that episode of wheeler dealers, was so jealous of the guy that bought the Bond Bug off them .

Biggles - where is that piccie of all the bugs taken ? The scenery in nthe background is superb..maybe we should sort out a c5 meeting there and recreate that picture..

Only one thing missing  yep a C5

[Karl]

Glad to hear the Bug went to a good home. Mike and Ed seem genuinely nice guys, hope they didn't disappoint in real life.

I've enjoyed taking part in some filming through c5alive and found it to be a lot of fun, always nice to enjoy a few moments of fame every now and then

May look at a Bond Bug, seeing those photos has wet my appetite..................

How much are we looking at for a half decent one.

best technical h&s advice, as with the 'Del Boy' Reliant shape, when servicing one - do NOT drive it over an inspection pit! 

[BigglesBear]

 I have had a few close calls i drive it hard  and it sticks to the road somes times sticks to much but its different to drive to a robin ... a Robin is a lot higher and the Bug is low.. Its fun  a laugh  especially when you  see peoples faces and where ever i go  it turns heads..
 fun with out going to fast..

Hmm  how much for a half decent one ? Just over £4k'ish, A bit of  trash and a box of bits over £1k, A tatty Bug but useable £3k'ish
,A Really  nice one £5 -£6k'ish  and seen them  go for more...
