This is not intended as a dig at the OP but a genuine puzzling observation: given that the car was made by the Reliant motor company and was a model called the Robin, it is a Reliant Robin, not a Robin Reliant, yet nearly everyone seems to call it the latter now, not the former. Why?

Probably because, subconsciously, Robin sounds like a more appropriate first name. Darren
