Reliant Regal

Brand: Reliant
Model: Regal
Colour: green
Country of manufacture: UNITED KINGDOM

The Reliant Regal was produced at the Reliant factory in Tamworth, Staffordshire, UK, between 1953 and 1973. It is, of course, a three-wheeler, but from 1962 the body was made of fibreglass over a steel chassis. It's sad to see a classic car, of any size, in such bad shape. But someone at sometime will surely rescue this old Reliant from being subsumed by mother nature. The chassis might rust, but the fibreglass body should fair a little better!

I walked past this S reg (1977/78) 'Roadrunner' Reliant Scimitar regularly over a period of many years - always admiring it's quirky backend. The precise model designation is Scimitar GTE SE6A, actually one of the more abundant variants with (according to Wikipedia) 3877 SE6As produced. '76/77 was the first year of the SE6A (only running until 1980), and the first for the Celtic Brown finish. Have a look at some of the original Reliant finish charts here
