Registered in August 1962, this Reliant Regal MkVI (one of only about 100 left) is now showing circa 75,000 miles on its odometer. Its last MoT expired in November 2019 after being tested the previous year at an indicated 74,839 miles. However, as an historic vehicle, the Reliant no longer requires annual testing.
The vendor tells us that the engine runs with no smoke but requires a new fuel line (due to a possible air leak). Because of this, it is currently only going when supplied with petrol direct from a can. The vendor acquired it in January 2024 as a project to rebuild; its previous owner stated that it had had a new clutch plus work on brakes. The Reliant is believed to be complete, with trim, side windows and new seats. The chassis is reported as okay with no rot, but the electrics haven't been checked.
The only paperwork with the car is a current and past V5C. However, we are told there is a video about the car on the Reliant Owners' Club Facebook page, which may provide more history.
