Nice motor........

I wonder if it would do wheelies with a ZX12R engine in?
Now that might be of interest to a certain Mad Dave

Can't believe the price it has reached - i like Bond Bugs, but you could get a great car for that money

i have always liked bond bugs too - but i think it may not be cred to admit it! The mechanicals are based on the reliant regal. My father in law had
a regal - sounded and went like a motorised dustbin, and i recon the bug may well be a dissapointment. Unless of course, it gets an upgrade

Went in the one that was for sale on ebay a while ago at Melbourne drag strip. Open diff so loads of wheelspin till it got a grip and then went like
a rocket. It had an R1 in. The kid then sold it to his mate and was building one with a Holeshot Hayabusa turbo in it and a slippy diff. Chris at
Z-cars made him a rollcage for it.

Do they make stabilisers for them aswell? With bike power I would want at least one more wheel.
I always remember the story of Colin Chapman and a Bond Bug. CC had just bought a bug, was outside Lotus looking at it and let one of his employees
have a go - at the first corner on the drive to the factory the guy turned it over! Needed a bit of Lotus handling tweaking I guess.

Mines bog standard or should I say 'bug' standard!. 700cc of raw power about 4bhp!!!! I've put the project on hold until the Locost
is finished. It only cost me £200 off my dad...bargain!

Wasn't there a 4 wheeled kit version produced in the 90's, obviously not by Bond though
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

There are a few four wheeled Bugs around but these are ones that have been modified by their owners. Bond also made a range of micro cars including
four wheelers like the Equipe.

The one I remember was a commercially available kit, it was featured in one of the Filby mags

I'm sure there was a kit with 4 wheels, but don't know any details.
