Hi,
I have just joined and thought I had better introduce myself.
I am Dave Poole from the west midlands in the UK. I love all classic cars, but my main passion is for the Reliant sports cars (Sabre and Scimitar series)I own a 1969 Reliant Scimitar GTE SE5. I have owned it for 11 years and still very much enjoy driving it. Sadly they are very underated nowadays
Mine is certainly not mint, but it is a well looked after example and it gets well used
Here's a few pictures:
I am interested to hear from anyone who used to work at the Reliant Motor Company or owns/owned a Reliant Sabre or Reliant Scimitar
Kind Regards
Dave Poole |

Hi Dave and welcome to this forum.
I bought my first GTE SE5 in 1978. I had a company car and fortunately my wife enjoyed having a sporty different car for the school run. It replaced a Fiat 124 Sport Coupe.
It was a rough looking brown one, reg no BGK15H. I had owned it for exactly a year when, one saturday morning, I went to the Scimitar specialist in Southend to buy a fan belt for it.
In their showroom was an immaculate aubergine one that I did a part exchange deal on the spot without telling 'er indoors. Fortunately she approved and we kept it for a couple of years. (Reg no XOD345K).
I have some old photos that I'll scan and post here. _________________ Brian
