Reliant Scimitar 1978

A superb example of this classic New Zealand New Grand Touring Estate. The Series 6a was more luxurious and had a larger interior than the SE5. Powered by the same motor and running gear as the 3 litre Capri, the Scimitar was quite a bit dearer and was more of a Sports Estate, with electric windows and full instrumentation. A full fibreglass body on a very strong chassis makes this a virtually maintenance free vehicle. This example has had an earlier body off restoration. A new upholstery kit from the UK including carpets and headlining was also fitted This car also features the optional and desirable Wolfrace alloy rims. Being NZ new, speedo is in km's. New tyres. Excellent mechanically. Auto serviced. Has had freeflow exhaust, Ramflo filter and new front shocks/springs fitted since photos.
