  get your podcasts. Welcome to 70x80, the section
• 0:59
  of 7080 .it that deepens the topics discussed
• 1:03
  on the portal. I'm with the journalist Enzo Mauri,
• 1:06
  who introduces today's topic. Good morning, today
• 1:09
  I'm talking to you about a car that seems to
• 1:11
  have come out of a science fiction movie, and
• 1:13
  in fact it is. The Bond Bug was a British microcar,
• 1:16
  two seats and three wheels. It was designed by
• 1:19
  Tom Kerrian of Ogle Design for the Brilliant
• 1:22
  Motor Company, which built it from 1970 to 1970.
• 1:26
  In 1974, after having bought in 1969 the Bond
• 1:30
  Cars Limited, the frame of the new conception
• 1:33
  Bond Bug was made by the engineer John Croswaite.
• 1:37
  In 1962 the Rillian Motor Company had launched
• 1:40
  the Regal Free 25, also with three wheels, with
• 1:44
  the intention of making a sports version to attract
• 1:47
  younger buyers. The result was a few years later
• 1:50
  the Bond Bug from the innovative Acuneo shape,
• 1:53
  like some 70s supercars. although the performance
• 1:56
  was more modest. In four years they saw the light
• 1:59
  only 2 ,270 units equipped with fiberglass bodywork
• 2:04
  and steel frame. Having only three wheels, one
• 2:07
  front and two rear, the Bug Bug was approved
• 2:10
  as a motor cycle. Another feature that made it
• 2:13
  look like a car of the future was the opening
• 2:15
  of the cabin upwards. The interiors were typical
• 2:18
  of a sports car, containing seats, ad hoc steering
• 2:21
  wheel to assume a low and straight driving position,
• 2:24
  the doors were simple soft panels. The Bontbag
• 2:27
  was proposed with a brilliant orange -mandarin
• 2:30
  color, only 6 white models were made for a cigarette
• 2:34
  commercial. Installed in the front at the time
• 2:37
  of launch, the engine was a 700 cubic centimeters
• 2:41
  with 4 cylinders and 30 horsepower. The 4 -speed
• 2:44
  transmission sent power to the wheels. rear wheels.
• 2:47
  Weighing only 390 kg, the Bond Bug could afford
• 2:50
  to reach 76 ,000 hours . After the 700e, in the
• 2:56
  subsequent 700S model, the engine was updated
• 3:00
  and brought to 31 hp in 1990. 173 arrived the
• 3:04
  most powerful version of 750 cubic centimeters.
• 3:07
  The ES cost 629 stars, that is more than a Mini,
• 3:11
  a particular one that did not prevent it from
• 3:12
  being appreciated anyway. It was the Bond Bug
• 3:15
  project that inspired Tom Caron in the realization
• 3:17
  of one of the most iconic vehicles in the Star
• 3:20
  Wars saga, the Landspeeder piloted by Luke Skywalker.
• 3:24
  Become a classic of collectivism and considered
• 3:26
  the number one of the models, today a Bond Bug
• 3:29
  can be valued at even 20 ,000 euros. Grazie a
• 3:32
