Highlights
One of only three GTC models built in 1981
Single owner from new until 2020
Rare private import to South Africa - the only Scimitar GTC in Africa, we are told
Factory-fitted Wolf Race alloys and uprated performance
The Appeal
The GTC is the lesser-seen convertible variant of Reliant's V6-engined Scimitar sports car. This 1981 example is exceptionally special, being one of just three GTC models manufactured in 1981, and the vendor informs us it is the only Scimitar GTC in Africa.
Finished in the desirable Trafalgar Blue with matching blue suedette interior, this Scimitar has reportedly spent most of its life with a single owner from new until 2020, having been imported to South Africa as a rare private import. The car benefits from a recent mechanical overhaul and has been preserved in a dry, climate-controlled environment, making it a truly unique opportunity for collectors.IMG_7500 Noel Grove.jpeg3.26 MB

✓ The seller is registered as a private seller which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions..
✓ We request that a non-refundable fee be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates.

✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence.
