Reliant Scimitar GTE SE5 

Sporting estate cars are very much in vogue on 21st century European roads, with Audi, BMW, and Mercedes all marketing high performance cars you can fit a wardrobe in. But back in 1968 the Reliant Scimitar GTE created the genre by combining a sporting chassis and drivetrain with an Ogle Design body that incorporated a large load area behind the two front seats.Ford’s Capri 3-litre provided the powertrain, although Reliant opted to locate the rear axle properly with four trailing arms and a Watt’s Linkage, rather than relying on cart springs like the donor car. Coupled with a four-speed plus overdrive manual gearbox the Essex V6 leant the new model impressive performance, and its looks gained admirers from all quarters, including, famously, Princess Anne, who owned several examples.A 0-60mph time of 8.5 seconds and a top speed of nearly 120mph made Scimitar owners amongst the fastest antiques dealers in the land, and that glass fibre bodywork resisted the British climate far better than the steel used on most cars of the period.The GTE was an instant hit and soon Reliant were making four for every booted GT they built.

Reliant Scimitar 4x4, 1972. An experimental version of the Ogle designed shooting brake using Ferguson Formula 4 wheel drive technology. The original Scimitar GTE chassis was re-designed with revised engine & gearbox mountings to get drive to front diff past the Ford 3 litre V6 while moving steering rack to clear GKN front Diff Unit. The 4 wheel drive Scimitar was an experimental model and never really intended for series production, it has passed through the hands of various collector and was, for a time, part of the Jaguar/Land Rover Collection
