Reliant Scimitar GTC

This was one of the exhibits at the Footman James Classic Car Show Manchester at EventCity in September 2017.

It's a 1984 Reliant Scimitar GTC, one of 442 cars built between 1980 and 1986.

The GTC was powered by the 2,792cc V6 Ford Cologne engine.

There's a Scimitar Owners' Club for owners of all Reliant Scimitar (and Sabre) cars, and also a Scimitar GTC Register for owners of the GTC.

Reliant

Following on from yesterday's photograph taken at the Footman James Classic Car Show Manchester at EventCity in September 2016, here are photographs of six Reliants I took at that event.

This is a 1964 Reliant Sabra GT, built under license in Israel by Autocars Ltd.

This is a Reliant Scimitar GTE, and with the 'L' on the licence plate indicating 1972/73 it should be a Scimitar GTE SE5 or SE5A.

This one's a 1992 Reliant Scimitar Sabre Ti, the last Scimitar to be produced and re-using the name from the 1960s Reliant Sabre.

This is a 1981 Reliant Scimitar GTC in which the Ford V6 2.8 litre Cologne engine has been replaced by the 2.9 litre unit.

This one's a Reliant Kitten and the 'R' on the licence plate indicates 1976/77. It has an 850cc engine and apparently has a 'nippy performance', so I'd like to see how this one performs!

This Reliant Scimitar GTE has an 'N' registration, denoting 1974/75, so it should be an SE5A model.
