Description
Showing 60,500 miles;
turbo replaced in 2017; MOTd until March 2027; extensive work carried out over
the years; complete with factory hard top with sunroof; galvanized
chassis
First registered in October
1986, this increasingly rare Reliant Scimitar Ti is presented in attractive
Reliant Racing Green, complemented by a green and cream leatherette interior.
Powered by the 1809cc Nissan petrol engine and paired with a desirable 5-speed
manual transmission, this distinctive British sporting estate offers
practicality, character, and exclusivity.
The vehicle has had 9 former
keepers and displays a total mileage of 60,500 miles. A speedometer change was
carried out in 2016, with the original speedometer included in the sale and
pictured, supporting the recorded mileage history.
Constructed with a
lightweight fibreglass body mounted on a galvanised chassis, the Scimitar
benefits from the durability and corrosion resistance for which these cars are
renowned. Included with the car is the original 1800 Ti sales brochure, together
with a substantial history file containing numerous invoices, including
documentation for the turbocharger replacement completed in
2017.
Significant investment has
been made in the vehicle, with approximately £4,000 spent in 2016 on upgrades
and maintenance covering the cooling system, brakes, suspension, engine, and
associated components. More recently, the cambelt and oil filter were replaced
around one year ago using the recommended 5W/30 synthetic oil, with fewer than
400 miles covered since this work was completed.
The car is supplied
with its factory hardtop finished in matching Reliant Racing Green, enhancing
its versatility and appeal. Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, the
vehicle now qualifies for Historic Vehicle status, benefiting from road tax
exemption and MOT exemption from March 2027.
A well-maintained
and increasingly collectible example of the Reliant Scimitar Ti, offered with an
extensive history file and presenting an excellent opportunity for enthusiasts
seeking a distinctive classic British sporting car.
