Tonight they take on a Reliant Scimitar GTC (soft top for the not knowing) it will be an SE6B series with the Cologne injection 2.8 Ltr V6, as an ex enjoyer of a GTE for a few years back in the mid 1970's thought I'd give it a go tonight on Yesterday at 2000 hrs on Freeview 27.

I know Graham is a fan of the cars and maybe others, they are an annoying team but maybe worth the watch, he said travelling in hope wink

I was considering a GTE before buying my MG. I really like the look of them. Unfortunately prices seem to have risen considerably over the last couple of years and they were about £3K out of my pay range.

Still, even if they had a 1972 4 seater Morgan on Bangers and Cash I don't think I could bring myself to watch it again......

It's better with the sound muted. The Scimitar was a great car, I always marvelled that the company that made the Trotter's 3 wheeler could build such a fast and shapely car.

Hmm, can't find a photo, might have the wrong museum! grin2

I can offer this Graham. A 1932 Stevenson van with water cooled 600cc engine but non-original bodywork. It lives at Kersey Mill in Suffolk.

Raleigh produced similar with JAP engine with production taken over by Reliant when founded in 1935, later using an Austin 7 engine.

Not breaking even on a restoration must be about the most 'reality' we ever see on Reality TV 🤣

rofl thumbs How true!

As for the idea that convertibles are wasted in the UK - I believe they are, or were, more popular here than virtually anywhere else
(on a percentage of volume sales basis)? smile

Yes, I think you are right Graham, but us Brits were always a bit balmy grin2
