A practical 120 Mph grand touring, sports estate car, great for cruising!

Nice. Very nice.

Always liked Scimitars, especially that model - never liked the newer boxier one as much.

Is there an active owners website or specialist outfit for these lovelies?

Hi,

Glad you like her. I too prefer the early models like mine the SE5 or the revised SE5a, but the SE6 was longer and wider and square. It was less sportier than the SE5/5a models, but it was aimed at the executive, with softer suspension, plush interior, more roomy. However, I do like the Middlebridge Scimitar with the 2.9 efi engine.

Parts for these cars are readily available, with the exception of certain trim items. The main dealer, who has bought the rights to build the Scimitar is Graham Walker www.grahamwalker.co.uk/ , but they mainly do servicing and parts as it would cost too much to build a new Scimitar.

I have a website dedicated to all the Reliant Sports cars and most of the prototypes.
