Talk:Reliant Motors

message: I removed the "pronounciation" part as it was badly written, completely unsourced, of little importance and didn't fit into neither the History section nor the article as a whole. Wikipedia is not a spelling guide. Not to mention that it wasn't really about pronunciation of the word 'Reliant' but about common mistakes in naming conventions for Reliant cars.

message: is insisting that an unsourced, unencyclopedic, and non-NPOV insertion he favors he kept in the article. I'll repeat what I said on his talk page: I removed your edit with the entirely accurate message "rm unsourced and unencyclopedic and non-NPOV section. Take it to talk." Your edit lacks any reliable sources; the single link that it provides does not mention Reliant Motors at all, nor does it include material such as "Naturally, in the UK, this didn't go down well", "needless to say", "derogation", "Ireland", nor "unfortunate consequence". We do not allow original research on Wikipedia; all material must be reliably sourced. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇  23:24, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

message: The whole account of the acquisition of Bond Cars Limited is incorrect: Bond was not in liquidation at all, but the acquisition of its parent company, Bradshaw Motor Group, by Dutton Forshaw led to a decision by Dutton Forshaw to dispose of Bond as a going concern.  Bond's management attempted to arrange finance for a purchase but one of the companies they approached already owned Reliant, and this led directly to successful negotiations with Dutton Forshaw to purchase Bond Cars. This is detailed in Nick Wotherspoon's excellent book "Lawrie Bond – The Man & The Marque" Nick Wotherspoon Bookmarque Publishing 1993 ISBN 1-870519-16-7, with which the Chairman of Bond Cars, Colonel Gray, collaborated.  I intend to edit the text and correct it.
The reference which states that "Triumph entered British Leyland and the deal ended" is also incorrect: Leyland acquired Standard Triumph in 1961, before Bond (then called Sharp's Commercials) even started work on the Equipe.  Again, it is recounted in Mr. Wotherspoon's book that the Leyland ownership was influential in Bond securing the licencing agreement, and it was a Leyland Motors director, seconded to Standard Triumph, who gave the instruction to make the agreement.  
The deal remained in place until the end of Bond production in 1970, although the Equipe was living on borrowed time anyway, because it was based on the Triumph Herald and Vitesse range, both of which would cease production in 1971.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 240 Gardner (talk • contribs) 16:13, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

message: I have been in contact with Andy Plumb (designer of the MK3 Reliant Robin!) and we've been discussing around the use of his images of Reliant Vehicles + Prototypes. This is overall great news to update here and the WIKI. He has given me permission to use the photos but I am just awaiting another response for them. Will eventually upload them when I have them.
