Description

This 1974 Reliant Scimitar GTE brings classic rear‑wheel‑drive engagement with its 3.0‑litre V6 and manual gearbox. The driving feel is tactile and involving, rewarding smooth inputs and patient revving. On country lanes it remains lively and characterful, while the tan leather and coupe proportions give an authentic vintage presence.

Practical for its era, the Scimitar offers usable luggage space and a solid mechanical base after a recent MOT and workshop check. It is a project car cosmetically, with paperwork and history on file, ideal for an enthusiast looking to restore or enjoy an original classic. Viewing and test drives are recommended.
