Reliant Scimitar

Double-edged sword:
The Reliant Scimitar SS1 by Dan Lockton

"All the elements pointed to a triumphant return of the British sports car for the 1980s: Michelotti styling, a superb chassis, a rust-free body, a range of performance options, and modern creature comforts. But putting it all together, the SS1 sadly failed to cut it with buyers."
