Description
Reliant Scimitar GTE SE5A, year 1973.
This wonderful example is finished in dark red, complemented by a cognac brown faux leather interior. The car was imported from the UK by an enthusiast and subsequently underwent an extensive restoration between 2022 and 2024. The restoration is thoroughly documented.
The GRP (glass reinforced plastic) bodywork received fresh paint, and much of the interior was renewed, including the folding sunshine roof.
The powerful Ford Essex 3 litre V6 engine, already in good condition, was fitted with a new carburettor and upgraded with electronic ignition. The four speed gearbox features the desirable Overdrive option. During the restoration the car was equipped with new stainless steel bumpers, a stainless steel exhaust system, 14 inch polished Wolfrace alloy wheels shod with Continental 185/ 70 R14 H tyres, and a Caliber retro radio.
The Reliant Scimitar GTE was a groundbreaking design when introduced in 1968. It was a sporty two door estate car that effectively created the modern ‘shooting brake’ segment.
The model was praised for its handsome styling, character, practicality, and its innovative construction, combining a steel box section chassis with a GRP body bolted to it. The mechanical components (engine, gearbox, rear axle and more) were derived from the Ford Zephyr/ Zodiac and Capri ranges. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire an iconic Reliant Scimitar GTE SE5A in restored and very good condition, offered at a price far below the cost of its restoration.
