Look at the picture and imagine FOUR people in the vehicle.
Your first problem, and a major issue with the article.
That is not a Reliant Robin!!!!!
It is of course a Reliant Regal. What's more Delboy never drove a Reliant Robin, it was (as pictured) a Regal.
I'm a bit of an expert on the subject having owned a Regal (a Supervan III).
There was at least one Robin which had been given a Nissan engine and was quite capable of 100mph+, though you would need a smooth road.
Lifting the front wheel off the ground, in my Regal it was possible but only with 3 2 foot by 3 foot paving slabs in the boot.

When I was overtaken at speed by a: RELIANT ROBIN! ......... 
My guess is between 85 / 90 mph!
Pity the Merc couldn't keep up eh?.............
