  • A Brief History of the Sabre and Scimitar

    A Brief History of the Sabre and Scimitar

    A Brief History of the Sabre and Scimitar Sabre (SE1 and SE2) In 1961 Reliant (who had been producing 3 wheeled vehicles since 1935) launched their first four wheeled car in the UK – the open sports Sabre 4 (SE1) with the Ford Consul 1700cc engine. The Sabre had evolved from the Sabra sports car, which had been developed in collaboration with Autocars of Israel, for whom Reliant had designed and developed four wheeled cars for local production since 1958. The fixed head Sabre 6 (SE2) followed in 1962 with the Ford Zephyr 2553cc straight 6 engine and a redesigned shorter bonnet. Scimitar GT Coupé (SE4 Series) Whilst looking to improve upon poor Sabre sales, in 1962 Reliant obtained the rights to the Ogle designed Daimler SX250. They were able to mount it on a slightly modified Sabre chassis (still utilising the Ford 2553cc straight 6 engine, but now with triple SU carburettors) and launched it in 1965 as the fixed head Scimitar GT Coupé (SE4). The rear suspension was modified after the first 59 cars had been built and a total of 297 SE4 cars were produced. As a result of the relationship between Reliant and Ogle Design, the Scimitar Coupé body was used as the base for a design concept commissioned by Triplex to demonstrate heated and laminated glass in automotive applications. The innovative style of this project caught the eye of the Duke of Edinburgh who was so taken with the Triplex Glazing Test Special (GTS) that he used it for two years as his personal transport; this was to be the first of several links with the Royal Family for many years to come.

  • A Brief History of the Club

    A Brief History of the Club

    A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CLUB Reliant started to build Sabra sports cars for the Israeli market in the 1960s. Capitalising on their success Reliant then started to build cars for other markets, including the UK. The sporting pedigree of the early cars produced by the factory started with Sabres, followed by the Scimitar GT Coupés and then the GTE and GTC models, and finally the Small Sports range. By 1972 a small band of enthusiasts were meeting to share their interests in several of the Reliant Models. There is a photograph of the group’s first meeting in our archives showing members with their Sabres, Coupés and Scimitars. The meeting happened as a direct result of Reliant Motor’s sponsorship and support for the Club. A strong relationship with the factory helped the Club in our formative years. There is more on this in our Brief History of the Sabre and Scimitar in another part of our Website. At this point we can stop to look at the various models that Reliant produced, and that are part of the history of the Reliant Sabre and Scimitar Owners Club. In addition to a wide range of what might be termed ‘economy cars’ (the Three Wheeler, etc.) Reliant produced several sports cars. Our Club caters for these fine sports cars, from their first true sports car, the Reliant Sabre – a 2-seater open topped and later GT style – through to the later Scimitar Sabre produced towards the end of Reliant’s history. Although there were fewer than 400 of the early cars built (and few exist today) the Sabre was the prime reason for the existence of the Club in 1972 as there were a considerable number of enthusiasts with these cars.

Use of the following parts bin components was requested: • Chassis from 3 wheeler • Back axel/ differential from the Reliant Kitten ( 4 wheeled derivative) • Front suspension wishbones from the Reliant Scimitar • Engine from the 3 wheeler, an 850 cc engine. [Reliant engineers had increased the engine torque by 7.3% to 67 N m, which resulted in a 14.3% reduction of engine speed.] Economy was good. The new Rialto had a claimed fuel economy of 26 kilometres per litre and despite having decreased power (28.12 kW instead of the usual 30 kW) it was said to race past 150 kph with ease with a top speed in excess of 160 kph. • Gear box from the three wheeler • Any other parts/ sub-assemblies that could be utilized As with all projects of this nature, the first priority was to produce a working plan and identify all the long lead-time events. The following immediate actions were undertaken: • Set clear agreed targets and objectives • Request a full set of drawings of all the ‘Parts Bin’ components • Rapidly evaluate the suitability of the ‘Parts Bin’ components 3 REAL WORK STARTS The Honda Beat two seater open sports car was taken as the target within the market place.

Perhaps most interestingly because it belongs to Andrew Norman, and Andrew has what in this day and age has to be an unusual occupation, he makes and repairs concertinas. A member of the Guild of Master Craftsmen he has through his hands some beautiful instruments. Thanks for the picture Andrew.
