The Reliant Rialto is a three-wheeled car that was manufactured by Reliant Motor Company, replacing the original mk1 Reliant Robin in 1982. The Rialto was designed as the replacement for the much loved Robin of the 1970s, it featured a much more squared off and aerodynamic body design, servicing panels, a single large windscreen wiper, a thicker fiberglass body and altered interior but the chassis, engine and a lot of large components were from the previous model. The improvements gave the Rialto a better high speed stability as well as improved MPG. The Rialto was built in a number of different models from a saloon, estate, van, hatchback, pickup and flatbed. Rialto's also come in a number of different marks, the mk1 models from 1982 to 1983, the rialto 2 series 1983 to 1986 and the rialto SE series which released in 1987 until 1997. Upon release the Rialto had a 12-month waiting list and was one of Reliant's best selling models ever but never gaining the praise as the more better known Robin. == The mk1 Rialto == The mk1 Rialto series came in 3 separate models, saloon, estate and van, the range consisted of Basic specification with a vinyl interior and could be ordered with a list of choice optional extras or GLS specification which came with a clock, FM/AM radio, voltage gauge, cloth covered seats with extra matching cloth covered areas on the interior, extra thick carpets with a carpeted boot area, GLS decals, leather steering wheel, spare wheel and radial tyres. All cars had a dark green dash with dark grey door cards. Engine specification was Reliant's own 4 cylinder 850cc "red top" (nickname for the standard specification engine with a red rocker cover) and 4 speed gearbox, this engine was passed over from the previous mk1 robin and achieved 40 hp, a top speed of 85 mph and MPG up to 60mpg. Most noticeable parts on a mk1 rialto to spot its the first incarnation is the thick stripe which runs front to back, the stripe colour complimented the body colour, stripes came in gold, graphite and silver. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Reliant Rialto」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
