The Scimitar was manufactured between 1964 and 1986, Reliant's first Scimitar being a coupé based on the styling of a Daimler SP250 prototype and the chassis of a Reliant Sabre. The initial SE4 was powered by a 2.6-litre straight-six from the Ford Zephyr/Zodiac and to keep costs down, many components were off-the-shelf items. The engine was mated to a four-speed manual gearbox with optional Laycock overdrive. Suspension was by wishbones and coil springs at the front with a live axle, coil springs and a modified Watts linkage at the rear. Steering was by rack and pinion and braking by Girling discs/drums. The introduction of the SE4A/B saw utilisation of V6 power, with a 3-litre Ford Essex unit fitted.
Previously one of just 17 out of over 130 entrants to finish the infamous Inca Trail rally, this example has been extensively prepared for historic rallying. One of just 591 Scimitar SE4A examples produced and fitted with the desirable 3-litre Ford V6 engine it is described as running and driving without fault. Overall cosmetically in good order, with a few minor blemishes as befits a historic rally car, it comes with a large history file with many maintenance invoices and V5C.
