Bought a Scimitar

[Arthur Dent]

Well I went a head and bought a 1969 Reliant Scimitar. Its an early model with a 3.0L Essex V6 and 4 spd. It was never sold in North America so its RHD and must be fairly rare here. Its fairly rough and needs a windshield. Its going to be a longer term project to get up and running.

I bet no one has seen one before!

here's some pics. I'll not sure about the colour

Hey man my roomate is huge into British cars he was surfing the net and stumbled across some pics you have of your new car. I thought it might have been you because there were pics of your triumph as well but I was sure, congrats on the purchase

Got the early heads up already from BritCarTalk ;)

Sweet car - now you can dress all up and pretend to be Princess Anne riding in style :D
