Just a teaser for you, spotted last year in the Lakes while on holiday.

Surely @ajlelectronics means a Scimitar? Not a 3 wheeler?

Reliant made both. Us dealers deal in both.

Always loved the Scimitar. Ex girlfriends mother had one. Another ex girlfriend had a Robin. Went in it once! Never again
In Swansea Uni at the time. Traffic lights to come out. Her car wouldn't trigger the induction loops. She would have to wait until another car came

You do know that they have a substantial metal chassis?

Of course. But it still wouldn't trip the sensor. A normal car always would. Surface area beats weight of metal.

Im here, been a busy day for us. Normally around 60 parcels each Monday go out.

We stock 3500+ different items and are adding to the stock listing all the time!

Most of the stuff we have fabricated locally, i dont have the time anymore. I do design alot for laser cutting though including this press tool to remove discovery 3/4 rear wheel hubs and bearings. Yes it’s not Reliant but makes my life easier! I did make one mistake in the measurements but soon corrected with a disc cutter! It’s 10mm plate and the uprights are slotted into the base to make it as accurate as possible.

Do you dabble in the Bon Bugs too? Always fancied one….but never been in the right place at the right time with money!

We have the original factory moulds for the canopy. Currently playing with them and made the inner skin with steelwork embedded. Need to do the outer skin now.

Trailing arms, handbrake and speedo cables we have made. Looms we have made.

Chassis I have spent a few years on and off playing with. Thankfully I’m nearly at the stage of welding all the sections together now
