What happened to Reliant?

[scimmie]

Reliant stopped producing the iconic Scimitar GTE in 1986 to concentrate on a new sports car called the SS1 and sold the rights to the GTE to a company called Middlebridge, who produced 77 Middlebridge Scimitars in 1989 but they went into receievership. Reliant built the SS1, SST & the last sports car called the Scimitar Sabre in about 1996.

The Reliant Motor Company stopped producing cars in 2001. The hand building process was too expensive & they couldn't compete against mass produced cars.

its a 3.4 GAA, basically the 3.0 v6 essex lump with a pair of 12 valve twin cam heads on, so its a quad cam 24valve. should be anywhere from 425- 475 bhp.
