A GROUP of Del Boy-style Reliant Robins are up for auction for just \u00a316,000 – but there's a catch.<\/p>\n

Seven examples of the iconic model made famous as David Jason's legendary ride in Only Fools and Horses are hitting the market today.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

These include a 1999 blue Reliant van like the one that appeared in the beloved comedy series, which is expected to fetch \u00a32,500.<\/p>\n

There is also a 1978 MkI Robin, tipped to sell for \u00a34,000, and an SLX Special 65 Edition which could go for \u00a33,000.<\/p>\n

The retro Reliants are part of a collection of classic cars being sold by Ewbank's in Woking, Surrey, this morning.<\/p>\n

Their previous owner sadly passed away and their cars are not being auctioned off.<\/p>\n

However, there are a couple of issues with some of the cars in the sale.<\/p>\n

The MkI has no valid MOT as it is classed as a "historic" vehicle.<\/p>\n

While MOT certification is not required to drive it, given it's age it is probably wise to have a professional make sure it is roadworthy before taking it for a spin.<\/p>\n

The historic classification does, though, have some advantages, as the car is also exempt from road tax.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Likewise, the SLX has some water damage to the carpet, the cause of which has since been repaired, as well as soon peeling on the bonnet.<\/p>\n

It can still travel in style though, with a red leather interior and swish alloy wheels fitted over the years.<\/p>\n

And the van is in almost pristine condition and was described as a "desirable" motor, but does need a new tyre at the back.<\/p>\n

Reliant was a Staffordshire-based manufacturer that operated between 1935 and 2002.<\/p>\n

It was best known for its quirky, three-wheeled cars and became part of British Leyland in the 1970s.<\/p>\n

The cars found TV fame as the daily drive of Derek 'Del Boy' Trotter in the '80s side-splitter Only Fools and Horses.<\/p>\n

It was also the subject of an episode of Top Gear, in which Jeremy Clarkson repeatedly rolled what he later revealed to be a heavily tinkered-with Robin as a jibe at the car's unique layout.<\/p>\n

The auction comes after a Morris Minor, understood to be just the seventh ever made, with just 15,000 miles on the clock sold for \u00a322,000.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a unique version of a beloved classic Jaguar went on sale with a sprinkling of design magic from Swarovski, who covered it in crystals.<\/p>\n
