Can I Resurrect It & Take It To Its Birthplace? Left For Dead 1975 Reliant Scimitar SE5a

[@tastyclassics]

Apologies for the lack of 1080p in this one I messed up my settings but won't do it again! Also the sound at the start I was trying a new microphone and completely messed that up too which I have learned from! Phew! If I'd of had the time I would of re done but sadly not possible, the exciting news is though that from the 1st of march I will be able to put a fair bit more time into these lovely films so stick with it, and as ever, thank you for watching and let me know what you think. P.s. the song details are in the description this time! (See, I'm learning!)

@@tastyclassics Just exactly what I was going to say - but I doubt Derek would ever be driving through my home city of Stoke on Trent in one of his cars. Loved the scenery as you passed through Stoke, then Stone, then Rugeley - cant get better than that - the UK version of Vice Grip Garage passing through my city in such an iconic car which I remember from my childhood back in the 70s and 80s. Most of these Scimitars tended to have the Borg Warner auto box though didnt they?

Hello i love watching your videos. Having mental health issues and being disabled you make my day. i have always been into cars from my dad who died in 1991 i was only 15 and he had many cars from Vauxhall 101 to mk2 cortina' a triumph 2000 to a viva and a mk1 escort. My very first car was an austin allegro reg number TOJ 956N. so keep up the good work and i look forward to watching more of your great videos. I would love to see the Scimitar having the paint sorted and may be having it straight piped. i have always loved the Reliant Scimitars but never had the money to buy one so i think i would love to see you do more to the car because it deserves it. so all the best to you and thank you for making such great videos kind regards Richard from Dronfield Derbyshire.

I've loved Scimitars since I was a kid in the 70's. I'd love to see a resto of this one but would probably prefer to see you rescue another forgotten relic. Either way I'll be watching. Great channel and top music, thanks for the Spotify play list.

[@405_hive]

The separate lock is the alarm/immobiliser. That’s how they were armed way back in the day when I first started to drive. Behind there should be wires. If not, it’s a “dummy” alarm, you could buy dummy locks like that or get them from a scrap yard, fit it then folk thought you had an alarm. It was always there as it’s next to the drivers door…. Less messing about to arm it once you have locked your drivers door. P.S, yes, I am really old😂😂😂

[@nicholasperry2380]

You can't be old as I am very familiar with the things too, and I don't consider myself old 🙃 If it's a real system I'd seriously advise un-connecting it as they failed frequently even when new. IIRC Piranha was one popular one, looking at the door sticker this is a Selmar which, I think, used similar components.

[@tomgriffin286]

Another great video Ben. These classics deserve another chance and I'm pleased you'll be doing more.

[@woodbine66]

Thought you were going to jump in and take it for a thrash around the Nerdburger for a moment there. Great stuff, love my old British stuff - especially you Ambassador resurrection. Also a big Carlton fan - very underrated car. Though I prefer the early MK 1 and 2 (facelifted 1 shape) as I owned one of each. Would love to see you give life to a neglected big rover - P4, 5, 6, SD1 or even 800. With all the ordinary cars you show love to you need to be titled 'Bottom Gear', though not sure how that would go down with search engines. 🤔 Love what you do, keep it up Big Ben!!

Watching this bought back some memories, it's great to see a younger generation appreciating the wonderful cars we had back then. I used to have a Bond GT equipe built by Reliants rival, who they eventually took over. I always loved the Reliant scimitar and when I sold the Bond I was very tempted to buy the one that I took on a test drive. However, I had to be practical and with a young family I eventually went for an Austin Maxi instead. The Maxi was also a great car , especially with a family and a dog to look after, happy days. 😊

This channel has fast moved to my top spot among all usual car channels. Because it's UK, is not so easy or glamorous and I appreciate that. I also have to roll around in the dirt in most weathers, fiddling with fine* British contraptions, and this always offers a unique experience to which I can relate. I reckon that the cars will have to be sold off on something like an Instagram account as you go, so you don't end up with 52 cars at the end of the year... which could be a problem! A mandatory pre flight checklist would also be useful so you know, wheels don't fall off... you nutter! Great channel Ben, which can only get better as it grows.

I love the sentiment! I hate seeing cars getting scrapped, I've been guilty of letting a few go myself that I really regret. Now I'm more about saving them too.
