@ggshearron Yes, it is a Robin Reliant a three wheeled vehicle quite common in the 1970s. You only needed a motorbike licence to drive it. ' Trotter's Independent Trading Company' was a fictitious company from a long standing sit com on the Telly called 'Only Fools and Horses'. It is very English humour so might get lost in translation across the pond! It was recorded in the 1970s and still going strong. Much of the sayings have been brought into slang language in the UK. It is about wheelers and dealers in East London and the reference to the title is only fools and horses work, although that was a sanitised version of the expression. The original expression by the East Enders (as they they are called) is only fools and f*ckers work! You can see why the title was changed for the TV programme!!!
@marshwader Yes I do know the sit com Only Fools and Horses but it wasn't a show I watched. We only lived in the UK for a short time in the 80s and then left for good in 1990 so it didn't travel to where we lived at the time.
