The colour -paintwork excrement-tone, seatcloth diarrhoea-style, trim-stripes urine-yellow- is absolute unique, only made for 50 cars of a special edition for the Netherlands. As far we know, this is the only survivor.
About getting it streetlegal/registrated in Germany, well, this is a very tricky topic - because the question is, which way you choose.
My brother-in-law has a perfect knowledge about that, as he is a higher ranked policeman, who works at a police academy as a teacher for vehicle registration regulations and traffic laws - but even he is a bit unsure.
A normal car-registration is impossible, because some parts and functions are missing. But as the Reliant os from 1978, so over 30 years old, a historic registration is easier. But as what? In Germany we don't have a Threewheeler-class, so either as a car or a special vehicle as for example a Trike. But these special vehicles don't have an own class for a registration as a classic.
He found out, that there is a new registration class for Trikes, Quads etc., which may fit. These vehicles don't need a catalysator and the driver has not to wear a helmet.
The easiest way would be, to put it on his collection-number. These are the red-lettered plates, starting with "07" after the district-code. Meant for collections of historic vehicles. For that registration there are no TÜV-requirements, so it's the only possibility to drive vehicles, which aren't confirm with the laws. But the usage is very restricted. With these "07"-plates you aren't allowed to drive to the shopping center, at work or on vacations. They are allowed only for hobby-related purposes as meetings, shows and so on (o.k., normally no cop will check that and if they really do that, you just need a plausible subterfuge
It's former Dutch registration (light vehicle with less than 400 kg empty weight for handicapped without tax liability and no APK -similar as TÜV- inspection) does not exist in Germany. In Holland not any more, too, as the seller told me.
