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. 1988 Reliant Scimitar SSI 1300 Reliant is a car manufacturer in England. ...

Although the Bond plant in Preston was eventually shut down, another Bond car was produced under Reliant management – the BondBug of 1970, a completely fresh new wedge-shaped car with a fibreglass body.
The Bug was produced for the 17 to 25 year-old age market and it was just offered initially in just one colour – a bright tangerine orange.
When the Bug was discontinued in 1975, it was the end of Bond as a name.
Bond Cars Ltd was a British motor maker that was formed in Preston, Lancs in 1949.
Bond Cars began production of an economical three-wheeled car in 1949.
Bug: 1970-1974: Perhaps the most famous of the company's creations, this was, again, a three-wheeler but with a Reliant 700 cc four cylinder engine and a top speed of 75 mph.
