How do I fill out the lost savings bond form? and 1970 - 1974 Bond Bug (01)

How do I fill out the lost savings bond form?



I have printed out the form for lost savings bond from the treasury. My great grandmother and grandparents have been giving me savings bonds since I was a baby and they have recently passed away. My father may have the bonds but I have not talked to him in 10 years and I have no way of contacting him. What do I need to fill out on the lost savings bonds forms to get relief?


Bond best answer:

Answer by david c,
Go to the nearest bank or postoffice for advice. Normally you will need the face value of the bonds and the date on which they were issued.

The Bond Bug was a small British two-seat, three-wheeled sports car of the 1970s. Following the purchase of Bond Cars Ltd, Reliant commissioned Tom Karen of Ogle Design to design a fun car. It was a wedge-shaped microcar, with a lift-up canopy and side screens instead of conventional doors.

The engine was the front-mounted 700 cc (later uprated to 750 cc) Reliant light-alloy four-cylinder unit which protruded into the passenger cabin. At launch 29 bhp (22 kW; 29 PS) was claimed for the less expensive 700 and 700E models. The more up-market 700ES had a power increase to 31 bhp (23 kW; 31 PS) as well as improved torque for the then range topping 700ES.

The car enjoyed an upbeat launch, at which Reliant's Ray Wiggin stated: "The fact it has three wheels is quite incidental. It's a new form of transport. So now, in fact, we think it's going to appeal to a much wider section of the market than we originally envisaged.

n contrast to the stereotypical image of three-wheeled Reliants as being ridiculously slow, the Bond Bug was capable of some 78 mph (126 km/h).

Tom Karen also oversaw the design and production of Luke Skywalker's landspeeder from Star Wars: one of the models was built upon the chassis of a Bond Bug - the wheels hidden by mirrors at 45° to the ground.

Der Bond Bug war ein zweisitziges Dreiradfahrzeug aus Großbritannien. Das Fahrzeugdesign stammte von Tom Karen, der bei Ogle Design angestellt war. Das Fahrzeug bestach durch seine kantige Form. Zum Ein- und Aussteigen wurde das Oberteil der aus Kunststoff gefertigten Karosserie nach vorne hochgeklappt. Es wurde nur in einem Orangefarbton geliefert, bis auf eine kleine Serie von Bond Bugs, die in einem knalligen Gelb auf den Markt kamen.

Reliant fertigte das Fahrzeug unter dem Namen Bond Bug, nachdem man die Bond Cars Ltd aufgekauft hat, zuerst in Preston, dann in Tamworth. Die Antriebseinheit stammte vom Reliant Regal und hatte 700 cm³ Hubraum. In den letzten Produktionsjahren wurde aber auch der 750-cm³-Motor aus dem Reliant Robin angeboten.

Es wurden nur relativ wenige Bond Bugs in drei Varianten hergestellt. Neben dem Grundmodell gab es eine E-Variante, die unter anderem mit einer Heizung ausgestattet war sowie das leistungsstärkere ES-Modell zusätzlich mit weiteren Ausstattungsdetails, wie etwa Niederquerschnittsreifen.
