We've identified this vehicle using the details you provided RELIANT REBEL 700 1971 Registration number: JCV 418L Body type: Estate Colour: Turquoise Date of first registration: April 1973 Cylinder capacity 850 cc Should be a Rebel 750 (upgraded from 700 in Sept 72), but looks as if re-engined with newer Reliant oily bits. Estate was apparently a better seller than saloon by 1969 after it was added in Oct 67. Other Rebel trivia included successful exports to Angola and other bits of West Africa, Bermuda and other Caribbean islands, and Portugal. And Reliant built a prototype with the engine from a Cortina 1600 E, which could apparently outperform a Scimitar 3-Litre. |
