purplebargeken Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Ugly as hell is what that is. Never surprises me re: the number of miserable sods around when you try and show an interest in their old jallopy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conrad D. Conelrad Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 RAC say that it is:MakeREEFENGINEERINGYear of manufacture1980 Model Engine size(CC)848 Should that read "REEFER ENGINEERING"? It would explain it quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mash Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Only 4 made? Thank Christ for that. Unless that means 4 completed and the other 100 sat languishing in gardens in bits after the enthusiasm/cash/wife left. Angrydicky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faker Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 stolen from ebay, reliant scimitar http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Reliant-Scimitar-special-body-racer-kit-car-wacky-racer-3-0-V6-essex-/121158491980?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item1c359bdf4cThat is the uglies thing I have ever seen! However I love the idea behind it. If you were to use a reliant scimitar chassis to build a hot rod, would it have to be IVA'd, as it's actually a rebody of a standard existing chassis.
