amateur Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 Definitely a Reliant Rebel. Surprisingly sprightly despite the small engine due to its low weight. I too had a Wartburg, also quite sprightly, but handled like a barge. Well appointed, though, and dirt cheap because the East Germans needed the sterling.

figgy Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) It is the rebel like that Welsh car journalist fella on YouTube is doing up. He must love cack cars as he drives a 2cv and a Invicar. Loves rovers and poverty spec 70's & 80's cars. Worth a watch to get all nostalgic.

Walker570 Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 They where made just down the road from here and I always had a wish for one of their sports cars, Princess Anne used to swan about London in one back in the 60s. There is a good 'history' on youtube about the Reliant factory and all the models they built starting with a three wheeler built on a motocycle frame.

The ONLY well known fact about Reliant is Princess Anne used to drive a Scimitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 My mate drove a reliant kitten for a suprisingly long time. He loved it, they were easy to fix and didn't rust which at that time was a real bonus. We look back on them now with distain but they had their strong points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, registration number 1420H. I believe she was Colonel in Chief of the 1420 Hussars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 I nearly bought a k reg metal flake metallic purple scimitar in the late 1980's, it was a lovely car but the crazing in the fiberglass body put me off. Best thing reliant ever made is the ford RS200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
