1978 Reliant Scimitar | SOLD

Yes, the SX250 was going to replace the Dart but Daimler changed their mind. Here is a picture of the SX250 which was re-worked slightly particularly the rear wheel arches.

This is the Ogle Triplex GTS which was a re-worked GT and forerunner for the GTE

That’s bloody lovely. It’s odd how they decided to make it into what was more or less an estate car, from that.

It’s even odder how a company like Reliant took it on, rather like how Raleigh, after nothing but sensible bicycles suddenly came up with the Chopper.

Thanks folks. Done a lot of reading on this last night and it doesn’t seem like it would really be that difficult to look after.

Go for it! We recently bought a 35 year old vw ‘van without much prior knowledge and haven’t looked back yet (even after having a wedge of work done by a specialist).

I think as long as you’re comfortable communicating to a decent mechanic about work that needs doing and you have a some cash left over for said work owning ‘a classic’ isn’t as scary as some make out - just buy a decent one to start with.

Just PMed you cryptthing

DO IT DO IT DO IT

Thats my tuppence worth

Drummer of a brass band I played in as a youth used to give us a lift in his, cavernous and as I remember a lush sort of ride — and you can get a full drum kit in it to boot. Dreamy.

Although I've always appreciated these from afar..I've never wanted one.. until now.. that colour is amazing... I wonder if my wife will give me the midlife crisis leeway

SOLD! Thanks for the interest all

Just a small PS for this one. Spotted these beauties at Shoreham airport this morning.
