oscar2157 12 #101 Posted August 18, 2020 I didn't work there.. but in the early 60s we bought a brand new Reliant 3 wheeler from Ropers.. myself and dad were allowed drive those cars on a motorcycle license providing that the reverse gear was blanked off. Upon picking up the car, we had a free driving lesson.. from the shop. I can imagine how terrified the sales guy must have been... taking out two customers onto the road who had never driven before. .. btw..we all returned in one piece.
