It does look nicely complete and the interior looks rather better than the exterior. I love the seller's description of the engine..
THE ENGINE IS SET DUE TO STANDING

Interesting to see "reliant" on the engine block. Didn't know they made their own side valves. Is it based on a larger manufacturers engine?

Based on the Austin seven. They were going to use Austin I think but Austin stopped production just as Reliant decided to use them so Reliant made their own. A lot of the parts are interchangeable like crankshafts for instance.
When behind a Reliant I always thought the back axle looked very Austiny too |

Hi Rick,
Yes, that was a standard fitment.

I think the later OHV engines were Standard-based?
