This RELIANT SCIMITAR GTC is in great overall condition.
The GTC was launched in March 1980 and was well received by the motoring press. However, in 1980 the country was heading into a recession and Reliant struggled to sell their £11, 360 convertibles in great numbers.
The Reliant Scimitar GTC was good enough for Princess Anne to drive in its heyday, and was seen as great sports tourer when new and regarded as a fine alternative to an Alfa or a BMW, plus offered better build quality than a TVR.
Today the GTC is a very rare sight on our roads and is possibly the most desirable of the Scimitar models.
Reliant began planning the GTC in 1977 and commissioned Ogle Design to create a proposal.
Tom Karen adapted his earlier GTE design and created a beautifully proportioned four-seat convertible with a good sized boot. From the doors back, all of the panels were new, with extra bracing introduced between the rear side panels and door hinge plates running under the dash board. The roll hoop from the GTE was retained and, for additional support, was linked to extra tubes running around the front screen creating a T bar that would ensure the rigidity of the new body design. Due to the separate chassis and extra bracing it did not suffer from the scuttle shake that monocoque convertible’s typically experienced. The hood was designed in house by adapting the hood frame from a Triumph Stag, with a bespoke cover made of mohair.
