When I think about it I haven’t seen a Reliant Scimitar on the road for about 30 years.

That was our first family car I remember (circa 1967-1974). Ours was blue with Consul seats fitted in the rear. I still remember it being sold and crying my eyes out ☹️ |

Anyone seen a triumph stag on the road recently ?
In the late 80’s a friend had one with the original v8 3.0L engine which made a lovely sound. Those engines tended to overheat and die, then get replaced with a Rover 3.5 V8 or ford 3.0V6, neither sounded as good as the original 3.0V8. Most came with a soft top plus a full hard top roof you kept in the garage for winter use, which caused some storage issues and paint match issues as the main vehicle paint faded due to sunlight but the roof did not as it was mostly in the garage during the summer. |
