Reliant Scimitar

GTE SE6A

Spectacular Reliant Scimitar GTE 3,0 automatic with the reliable Ford Essex V6 motor - has had a complete engine overhaul and is upgraded to RS 3,1 stage 4 specifications - 3098 cc instead of the usual 2980 cc.
Engine overhaul carried out by Scimitar specialist Will Sparrow.

Very rare British classic - one of the first shooting brake GTE´s - and even more rare in this condition. Probably one of the best out there.
The car was completely renovated in 2021 including a fully professional coating and paint in “Jaguar Caviar Red”. Has only been driven on summer days and dry roads and is stored in a a ventilated garage.

There is lots of paperwork to document the cars history from back in 1978 - service books and mechanical bills and not least full documentation, pictures included for the completed renovation during 2021.

Excellent, and beautiful GTE, drives like a dream and engine sound amazing. Powerful and solid

Spare parts are easily provided from the UK - several dealers with a complete spare part catalogue. And engine is Ford which means it is easy to handle for any old school mechanics

Interior is nice and original from 1979 - normal wear and tear is to be expected

The car is mechanically solid and drives smoothly and is really beautiful in the Jaguar Caviar Red colour - looks brown from a distance.
Engine, brakes, calibres, the auto transmission, shock absorbers etc was of course also renovated in 21 when the Scimitar had a complete overhaul but the car is 45 years old so bits and bops must be expected - but overall probably one of the nicest examples available.

Serviced in the summer of 2025 and fitted with a new twin Weber carburettor, new alternator, new choke, new gas cable and new driving belts.
