Reliant Scimitar

[mk1mexico]

Whats the general thoughts on these cars ??

 

A friend just bought one im not so keen

 

Essex V6 is the only bit i like

[antz]

my dad swapped his mk2 crayford cortain for one about 14year ago.

 

it was nice but not my taste

[mk1mexico]

ooh much rather have the tina thats for sure!! was he mentally secure?

well at the time the cortina was patched to hell with dodgy welding done by the former keeper, leaked like a siz through the roof, and the engine was dodgy.

 

the scimitar was reliable and looked in good nick apart from a key scratch down the passenger side which my dad sprayed himself in the garage.

 

id artaher have the 'tina but at the time back in 1992 it was the sensible thign for him to do.

 

the 'tina is still around fully restored.the scimitar he part exchanged for a fiat panda 4x4 then it was given as compensation to a guy when his car was nicked from teh garage and that was the last of the scimatar we heard but the cortina is still going strong!

Me and a mate cut one up for the engine. Thats about as far as my expierience goes with that particular motor!

[BIGKEV]

raced one in the RS - in bracknell on a duel carraigeway - thing ig he saw me whizz past a couple of roundabouts back and we went for it - Russ in the passenger seat shouting " dont let him get you dont let him get you"

suffice to say I could just keep in front of him

 

recently restored bright yellow GTE version - very sexy!!!

I personally like the Scimitar especially the SE4

 

 

BUT, how about a nice Kitten?

Plenty of arse out antics to be had in one of these!!!

I am REALLY beginning to worry bout you JimBob

[Rick]

i think theyre pretty cool... but all older cars do

[Danmex]

I've liked them since I was a kid, a bloke down my road had two, a standard early green one and my favourite a dark blue modified one on Slot mags

[cyrix]

Worth a lot of money in spares.

 

Mine was an OK drive but ugly as sin.

 

Was Sh1t brown, Only bought it for the rebuilt motor.

 

You can buy the Rover V8 conversion kit for them though.
