Default Before I do something silly...

Does anyone on here know anything about Reliant three wheelers?
I'm aware they are fibreglass and that can dry out? Is there anything that you can apply to them to keep it at bay?

Thing is, I keep having these bright ideas and it is another consideration for a possible purchase, advantages: The dog can go in it, 65mpg, keep some miles of the 75. I think the Regals look nicer than the others. I was looking at one the other day and kept thinking how familiar the lights looked. MK2 Fiesta!

I don't know really. My dad almost fell off his chair laughing at me when I told him I was looking at a three wheeler.
