  • such a beautifull car, such a sad fate, i have one question though.... how do you change the front wheel in case you get a flat tire?

  • The same way you change the back. Take it off and fix the flat. ;o) You just jack it up as nromal and all the weight is on the back two wheels and the jack.

  • I've got a 850cc Bond Bug which is more aerodynamic and they don't do 90mph in 750cc form.

    This size would be lucky to reach 70mph and stay there. Maybe that's why this car set on fire cause it was ragged.

  • The car was stationary when it burst into flames so nothing to do with speed but a 750cc Robin WILL do 90mph. Please note that a Bond Bug recently burst into flames in similar circumstances (they are not immune to fire), luckily the owner had a hose handy and was able to put it out. My Supervan had an 850cc engine like your Bond Bug so exactly the same thing can happen to you as under the body its the same mechanics.

  • so you are the one who keeps annoying the hell out of Mr. Bean

  • Doing a bit of research because I am about to embark on the restoration of my Father's 70's Supervan which has been stuck in the garden for 34 years and used as a wood store for firewood.So gutted for you to hear of Old Blue's fate.

    I think I'll be looking into fire proofing measures like kevlar reinforced fuel pipes and Explosafe foil in the tank...it's gonna be a lot of work but I love that old van.

  • best car i ever had for driving in snow, big bag of sand in the back, no problem.

  • I remember these being recalled for fuel line modification. Engine fires were common as the fuel line was very close to the distributor.

  • my life plan: buy one of these and bring it back to australia!

  • Mr bean
