1987 Reliant Scimitar SS1 1800Ti For Sale

Only purchased earlier this year, greatly enjoyed this summer but now selling as we are putting too many miles on it and need a more motorway orientated modern car. Very nippy when on boost but more economic than 1300 or 1600 cc versions when driven gently.

Work carried out by previous owner -

Engine:
Turbo Technics refurbished roller bearing T25 Turbo
Uprated wastegate spring to allow more boost
Custom made elbow in stainless by JP Exhausts
Autosprint camshaft
Sealed pop off valve

Engine was apart 1 year ago, all shells, rings, bores and crank good. Head was decoked, pressure tested and skimmed.
All cooling hoses and clips replaced.
New stainless steel exhaust system from GW

New (and relocated) fuel pump

Transmission:
Mk2 gearbox for improved gearshift

The rear spoiler is slightly oversized (MR2 origin, I think). The bodywork cleans up nicely but there are some stone chips on the nose, but being plastic doesn't rust so can be kept on top of with touch up paint. Cooling system filled with Prestone anti freeze this year. Oil change due in 1000 miles (3000 mile intervals) - Mobil 1 10/ 60.
