1987 Reliant Scimitar SS1

I saw this car recently that I'd not spotted before in a street in Hyde not far from where I live.

It's a 1987 Reliant Scimitar SS1, a car that was produced from 1984 to 1990 and was powered by a 4-cylinder inline 1,597cc Ford engine. The body was designed by Giovanni Michelotti, the last car he designed before he died in 1980.
