Bond Bug
The Bond Bug was a small British 2-seat, 3-wheeled fun sports car of the 1970s. It was built by Reliant, first in Preston, then Tamworth, in Staffordshire, and was designed by Tom Karen of Ogle Design. It was a wedge-shaped microcar, with a lift-up canopy, instead of conventional doors. It was originally designed for Reliant, but was sold under the Bond Cars Ltd name after Reliant acquired them. It was only available in a bright orange tangerine color. Its fame was helped along by a distinctive Corgi Toys die-cast toy car. Although it had a fairly short production run, it has a fanatical following today, is much sought after by collectors, and has an active and enthusiastic club.
