1987 Reliant Scimitar SS1

Description

No Reserve

Rare to see example that was restored with photographic record through 2016-17; 5-speed 'box; galvanised chassis; hard-top and glass sunroof showing 82,300 miles

Dating from April 1987 this dainty, yet sporting Reliant Scimitar SS-1 is finished in light teal blue and sits on a set of 14” five-spoke alloy wheels and boasts a black vinyl soft-top along with seperate GRP hard-top finished in Gold with glass tilt sunroof.

Under the sloping bonnet, we find 1.6 litre Ford sourced CVH four-cylinder petrol engine which was reputed to pump out 96bhp and 180NM of torque when new, driving the rear wheels via five-speed manual transmission.

Inside, we find checker seats (which look to be from a TR7), manual windows and much Ford/Austin/Rover sourced switchgear and an integral roll over hoop for safety.  The car started promptly with a neat little battery isolator switch hidden down on the driver’s side of the transmission tunnel.

This example, as a post 1986 model features the galvanised chassis and single windscreen wiper and as such looks to have remained in good order showing just 82,300 miles.

The history file includes the V5C recording 14 former keepers, an old V5C, the current MOT valid until August 2023 with two minor advisories recorded (exhaust minor leak and oil leak), three old MOTs and a selection of invoices for parts purchased as well as some older bills along with photographs of a light restoration conducted through 2016/17 (from what we can gather via the owner's club, internet and limited information on file) and useful repair manual.

Ready to be enjoyed, this lightweight roadster has much to like and is on offer at No Reserve, so the highest bid takes it home.
