In this extra special Tasty Classics resurrection I try my darndest to bring this 1975 Reliant Scimitar back to life and return it to whence it came!
Apologies again for the sound in some places of this video I'm still learning but I should have it perfected for the next one!
Edit - thanks to a great suggestion from Rod in the comments I have created a Spotify playlist for all the songs I'll feature in my videos - you can find it here open.spotify.com/playlist/2V8...
The tracks in this episode are Kylie Dailey - Half An Ear, OTE - Jungle Train & Victor Lundberg - Trick Of The Memory (in that order)

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?

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
@nicholasperry2380 Год назад
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.

Had a 1977 S reg in yellow, Ford Essex V6 back in 1992, started it up one winter -12 and cracked the block! it was left outside all winter and i paid the price.

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 was thinking some sort of immobiliser or alarm/security system override key switch as well. My dads cars never had them but I think an uncle had a newish car around mid to late 1980’s with an odd extra lock and as an inquisitive young 10 + year old asked about it and he said it was something to do with alarm/security system. Quite popular on newer cars back then I seem to remember.

Love this vid, my Dad had the exact same scimitar in the early 80's, you drove through Stoke where he lives and we drive past where you started your journey every weekend to go to Chester, big thumbs up

Fantastic! I've only just found this Scimitar episode. I live less than a mile away from the old Reliant factory in Tamworth and remember seeing loads of these, along with the Robin when I was young.They were obviously both very popular cars locally. It's great to see this one up and running again!

Great fondness and memories of the Scimitar ...my father bought the very first one in Scotland...MSO 510K I was playing football with my pals when it arrived at the house ...we all stopped the game and just gazed at this incredible sleek red car ...5 years later I drove it between Perth and Dundee in 10mins 40 seconds ...it's 20 miles ...don't tell the boys in blue!

Please keep these videos up and the length of them, far better than other RU-vidrs with 10 minute videos about waffling shite and not actually doing anything. Great videos, great content, congrats on going RU-vid full time

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!!

Great watch as always 👍 gets me through some long arse shifts and it's always great to see old cars that I didn't even know existed be saved and put back on the roads. Would love to see this little car have a bit more TLC and get it as close to fully restored as financially possible anyway 🤣 great work.
