1973 Reliant Scimitar – Automatic
Last on the road and in regular use around 2011. Large file of History and Invoices available.
We now have more information on the history of the car and within the bills & Invoices we have a notebook which was kept by the previous owner and details a lot of the works. Initial inspection shows Chassis to be in very good condition other than two small (matchbox size) holes that require welding. This looks to have happened due to being stood outdoors and rain water dripping onto the same place. Also the electrics have been modified at some point and need attention.
The engine has been successfully started.
