1971 Reliant Scimitar SE5 GTE. Manual gearbox with overdrive. 3 litre Ford Essex V6 engine.

Black interior with carpets. Rear seat belts fitted.

Car has a very extensive service history and low milage for its age. It has been kept garaged in the 5 years I've owned it and regularly serviced by (Scimitar specialists) Queens Road Garage in Kettering. Mechanically very sound, with MOT until October '24.

Has two areas of cosmetic damage (see photos):
- a missing passenger-side headlight surround
- bodywork damage to front driver-side wheel arch, caused by low speed collision with garage door frame.
Queens Road Garage have quoted £1700 to fully address both issues, hence reduced selling price.

A great car in a rarely seen (original) colour, with attractive wire wheels. Runs very well, always starts and great fun to drive. Reluctantly selling due to change in family circumstances.
