Wow, that looks super clean! What lump has it got upfront? Looks like it might have some poke with that SU ontop.

Thanks,Its still the standard reliant 850cc engine,not that big but when tuned up well,and the weight being so low on the body it can give a few people a surprise!

Decided to try and make the front a little more menacing today with some new lights i bought,its looks a bit meaner now grrrr!







also bought some old cosmic 10" mini alloys that I'm going to refurbish,and get powder coated anthracite grey and some new falken rubber put on.

Are they just after-market Corsa lights?

Anyway, looking very good, especially in a nice bright colour

Pretty smart.

Nice to see Reliant made those access hatches for the engine bigger inside the car.


My old 850super had tiny little ones. Couldnt reach anything..

yeh,the original lights were from a corsa b,so it was quite an easy job to do to change to the aftermarket ones,but it really changes the front end.

the access panels may be bigger,but the engines still a bit of a nightmare to work on sometimes,alot done at arms at funny angles!

Wow,fascinaing car,I had no idea that they'd continued making these past the 70's!

I used to look after a fleet of these, lots of fun and very cool!
