Are you one of the many people who would love to own a Reliant Robin, but feel that it has too many brakes, it looks too conventional, the engines both in the wrong place and has, like, twice as many strokes as it should, and youd never want to own a car with a symmetrical arrangement of doors If thats you then Im delighted to say Ive found the car for you a SAIL Badal. Wait, you never heard of the SAIL Badal, or even SAIL as a company Ill pause while you find a mirror to stare into and then punch, in shame and rage. All good Okay, lets get you some of the sweet illumination of knowledge here. Stiftung Warentest - 4 - 2013 - Testberichte there. SAIL stands for Sunrise Automotive Industries Ltd and was founded in 1. Bangalore, India. Like many companies looking to set up an automobile factory from scratch as easily as possible, they looked to Britains Reliant Motors, makers of the fiberglass bodied 3 wheeled Robin and the sporty shooting brake, the Scimitar. Reliant had a sort of side business helping to set up carmakers in countries less known for their car building prowess.

Farewell. 20032016 Torrentz. I acquired the car on the 1412003. The car was manufactured in the UK destined for the American market. It was bought in California by Mr. Jarl Deoer of 23. Reliant helped Anadol get started in Turkey and Autocars in Israel, for example. Reliants models were a good place to start, as the fiberglass bodies eliminated the need for costly and complex body stamping machines. While SAIL in 1. Sipani, just FYI looked to Reliant to get started, the car they designed diverged pretty dramatically from the basic Robin. While the chassis was clearly Robin derived, a three wheeler with the single wheel in the front not the most stable way to do this, SAIL sourced a 1. Innocenti two stroke engine from Italy. Just to keep things even more exciting, they mounted that little 1. Oh, and you better take it easy on the gas, because youve only got brakes on the rear wheels to stop those dozen angry horses. The body design, though, I think is the biggest innovation of the Badal. Perhaps they looked at other one box, rear engine designs like the Fiat 6. Multipla or even the Volkswagen Microbus, because the design is sort of reminiscent of those. Its not quite a one box design, as there is a little stumpy hood, but all thats in there are driver legs and the pivoting front wheel. The body forms a sort of tall wagonvan design, with two doors on the passengers side and one door on the drivers. I think its actually a very clever and space efficient design, though it does suffer from the big flaw of not having exterior access to the rear luggage area over the engine. They should have had that rear window open like a hatch. The styling isnt totally utilitarian, with lots of creases and character lines and moldings all over the car. Even though the car was built between 1. Eastern Europe in that era. I consider that a compliment, but Im not sure if many others agree. From what I can tell, the Badal didnt sell all that well, and it appears its considered an outright failure by some observers of the Indian automotive market. Still, it must have had some impact on Indian culture, as its featured heavily in the Bollywood movie Ram Balram, where it gets to show off its very 2. CV style flip open windows and a remarkable ability to drive itself when everyone inside needs to climb out and sing Its pretty fun to watch that little plastic shitbox bounce around and drive through tubes, too. Its also possible that SAILs crack marketing team was the first to use the term smileage in place of mileage, which has to be some kind of automotive advertising landmark. That one is in the Heritage Transport Museum, Guragon, India, and thats a blow up of the brochure behind it. The Badal is just about unknown here in America, and I think thats a shame. This was a clever, well designed little microcar that helped bring cheap transportation to people, and it should get recognition like Isettas and Reliant Robins and other microcars do.
