I've been told on another list that purple lift front is a "Bond Bug. Originally only available in Orange. Coventry Climax engine. Built on a Reliant Regal chassis. Made in the 1970's. Fast (for the capacity - 700cc) enough to be extremely scary, mainly because it was built the wrong way round, with two wheels at the back instead of the front." Jim R.
