Bond Bug

The Bond Bug is a two-seat three-wheeler made by Bond Cars / Reliant in the United Kingdom from 1970 to 1974. Its weirdest quirk: It has no doors. The canopy lifts up to let you in, with clip-on side screens instead of windows.

A tangerine wedge on three wheels designed by Tom Karen of Ogle. Instead of doors, the whole top tips up and forward.
