Special Scimitar
Discussion
Has anyone else noticed the innocent looking Scimitar currently in John Dolbear's place on North Road?
The glass roof gives it away as something special and I think it's an Ogle GTE prototype. Badges and interior are different plus some headlamp cowls and that special moulded glass roof. Wasn't there also a 'Triplex Special' with a full glass roof used by Prince Phillip?

It sounds like the one off "Ogle Scimitar GTE" from 1968.

Indeed there was also the Triplex Scimitar GTS (Glazing Test Special) from 1966 that Prince Philip had for a couple of years. The Scimitar GTS is now in the USA![frown](/inc/images/frown.gif)
