    I think it's a Reliant Scimitar.

    Good Evan Dando spot!

    I was wondering who the filthy hippy on the Reliant was. Wouldn't mind, but I'm a big Lemonhead and have seen him a few times in the Olympia!

    Jeez - I like Scimitars, but I'd be keeping that gallery of rogues and nobodies as quiet as possible, and stick to Princess Anne. Stuart Hall! Noel Edmunds! Doddy! Still, Barry Sheen and Dickie Davis make up somewhat.
