You'll no doubt recall me reminiscing recently about the NOBEL 200 car that my parents had back in the 1960s. Well, I miss it so much that I decided to buy one - so here it is.
(Okay, so it's only a 1.43 scale model, but it's all I could get.)

This is actually a more stable platform than the famous Reliant Robin. One of my old teachers had a Robin and we were fascinated by it.
ReplyDeleteMy father had several Reliant Robins after the Nobel, Phil. I'm sure you've heard the old joke - "What's the difference between a Reliant Robin and a sheep?" "It's less embarrassing being seen getting out the back of a sheep!"
ReplyDeleteAre these the ones that were referred to as "Bubble Cars"? Think I remember my mum telling me that my grandad had one of those, long before I was born...
ReplyDeleteI've sometimes seen them referred to as Bubble cars, THB, but I don't think they really were because of the shape of the front. Anyone know for sure?
ReplyDeleteI think the bubble cars were the BMW Isetta and Messerschmidt which opened via the front .
ReplyDeleteYup, that was the difference, so I think you're right, Phil.
