1988 Reliant Scimitar 1800ti review from Netherlands
"The most underrated sportscar"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only one main disaster: the engine broke down. Failure of the 4th cylinder. Had to replace the engine. But now it has a brand new engine and no worries.
General comments?
A supercar! I could not think of a better (small) fun car. Excellent performance and road behaviour. Great at high and low speed.
Very usable!
