Reliant Scimitar.
What to Check Before Buying.
The Reliant Scimitar, produced from 1964 to 1986, carved out a unique niche as a British sports estate with fibreglass bodywork. Most famous in its GTE form, it attracted enthusiast owners who valued its blend of practicality and performance. Today, survivors are largely cherished classics, but age-related issues and patchy maintenance histories mean thorough pre-purchase checks are essential. Parts availability can be challenging, so knowing exactly what you're taking on matters.
