1980 RELIANT SCIMITAR GTE AUTO
RUNS AND DRIVES
Here is a good example of a scimitar gte in red with 3 litre engine. It has been Sat a while and will need work. I bought the car as a barnfind. since then I have got some fresh fuel and a good battery and the car started within seconds with ease. I then tested to see if car moved forwards and back which it did.
HISTORY OF THE CAR
3 previous ownersmileage= 62626I am unsure when car was last on the roadI have loads of receipts of work done to the car from the 80s of over £2200. the car was thoroughly maintained and was clearly someones pride and joy
INTERIORThe interior is almost immaculate for the age. I haven't cleaned any of the car so you can imagine how well it would come up with a clean. all the seats are in almost mint condition. no rips or tears. one of the rear seats does need a clean. the front seats don't even look used. roof lining is great condition as is the doorcards.
EXTERIORYes the paintwork does need work. probably a respray. it has faded and is [patchy as you can see in photos. there is a tiny little crack on rear arch as shown in photos but only minor
ENGINE & DRIVE TRAINLovely ford 3litre Essex engine with auto gearbox. the fuel pipe from fuel pump has been disconnected so it can be run off a jerry can as I can imagine the fuel in tank is no good. I have only ran it for a short while as it could do with a service. the car is fitted with a stainless exhaust system but seems to be missing the rear tail pipes. the centre silencers are in the boot. auto box works as it should like I said I have only driven forward and back around my yard to check operation. I didn't go any further as brakes could do with cleaning and tyres need pumping up. plus I wouldn't want to drive it too long with all the old oils in the car.
5 GTE ALLOY WHEELSodd sizes tyres on one side. only fitted so it can be moved easilythe underneath looks in good condition considering its been sat so long
I have videos of engine running if you would like to see.
