The Reliant Scimitar feels like a bit of hodgepodge. Why?
Well, it’s powered by a Nissan turbocharged engine while sitting on an Elan- and Vauxhall-inspired chassis built by Lotus. Plus, it has Porsche 928-style headlights, but they’re square.
The styling came from Giovanni Mi…
I didn't really know about the Scimitar SS1, so color me interested.
If it didn't have the CA18ET engine, though, I don't think I'd be as interested.
Pretty sure I drew this very car in middle school.
This is frighteningly close to me if someone wants eyes on it. Several are being seriously abused in English "Sporting Trials", see video from Lands End and Sims Hill. Produced alongside the last Robbins, it was supposed to save Reliant. Sorry guys, nice try.
This is so cool. It would really stand out at car meets for sure.
Innovative use of the spare tyre as the radiator, but does it then overheat if you get a flat? 
That car is charmingly eccentric.
