There was a time when it seemed that you couldn’t give a Reliant Scimitar away. Today, quite rightly, they’re seen as very cool cars! How fickle the retro car market can be!
From the seller: “RARE 1972 SCIMITAR SE5A WITH 4 SPEED MAN (NO OVERDRIVE) TOP LOADER BOX. IN SHABBY BIT USEABLE CONDITION
CHASSIS SOLID BUT BODY AND PAINT NOT SO GOOD!
HAS GOT NEW ADJUSTABLE SHOCKS AND SPRINGS ALL ROUND,NEW ELECTRONIC IGNTION,NEW WATER PUMP,ALLY RAD AND FAN. NEW STEERING COLUMN.HAVE ORDRERD NEW WIPER MOTOR(SEIZED) AND HEADLGHT RELAY.(STICKS)
FITTED WITH ALLOY FUEL TANK, ALLOY ROCKER COVERS AND SINGLE BOX STAINLESS STEEL PIPES,,,SOUNDS AWESOME BUT IS NOISY…DRIVING IT IS FUN PARTICULARY IN WET. AND STILL PULLS WELL FOR A 51 YR OLD CAR & OIL PRESSURE GOOD.
BAD POINTS..THERE’S A FEW!!
BODY AND PAINT AS PER PICS,NO HEATER (MATRIX HOLED AND DISCONNECTED), INTERMITANT WHINE FRON REAR AXLE,
ALTERNATOR IS POOR.,REAR WIPER INOP.(HAVENT DIAGNOSED YET) AND N/S INDICATOR HAS STOPPED WORKING (PROBABLY AN EARTHING PROBLEM),RADIO/CASSETTE INOP..THOUGH DOUBT YOU COULD HEAR IT OVER NOISE OF EXHAUST!!
