David Jason wanted to distance himself from Del Boy role: ‘Gets you down’

Sir David has said his character Del Boy’s famous yellow Reliant Regal “was probably the most uncomfortable, noisy, smelly car ever,” likening it to “hell on three wheels”.

“It had a crashed gearbox and the seats were all ripped but we had an affection for it” he said, adding he “wouldn’t drive one now if you paid me”.

Fortunately not everyone thinks about the iconic motor the same way as Sir David. 

The one used by the Trotters has attained cult status and is currently on display at the Cars of the Stars exhibition at the National Motor Museum, in the village of Beaulieu in Hampshire.
