This distinctive and highly original 1977 Reliant Scimitar GTE SE6 is a real homage to the 1970s. It combines a brown and cream two-tone exterior with a bold blue velour interior. It even features an original Philips stereo cassette player. The odometer reads around 12,800 miles but, as it is a five-digit odometer, it is understood the actual mileage is around 112,800. It has a manual gearbox with the optional overdrive. The condition is described as being ‘good’ throughout, and this UK-registered classic comes with the V5 present. ‘VBF 446S’ has four matching Toyo tyres and period accessories including grille badges and a GEM motoring assist sticker on the back window.
The innovative Reliant Scimitar GTE was a novel sports estate version of the 1964 Reliant Scimitar GT coupe. Launched at the 1968 British Motor Show, the attractive design combined a practical load area with a four-seat interior – individual rear seats gave a premium experience for those in the back. Powered by a 3.0-litre Ford V6 engine, the car was an instant sales success, with production continuing until 1986. Princess Anne was a famous convert, and is believed to have owned nine different Reliant Scimitar GTEs.
In summary:
- Highly original 1977 Reliant Scimitar
- Described as being in ‘good’ condition throughout
