Replying to: hudsonthedog (Oct 15, 2008 12:56 pm) I've seen HRG's running up Prescott hill climb, and in historic races and sprints - they are really a post war vintage style car. |

 This one should be easy - bonus points for the cars in the background ? |

Replying to: magnette (Oct 15, 2008 2:16 pm) On a side note: If you pull up in a Reliant to a party, or to pick up your hot date, does the car make you look nerdy, smart, or sophisticated? Or is it not that big of a curiosity in the UK? Have you ever driven one magnette?

Replying to: magnette (Oct 15, 2008 2:16 pm) Background: Yellow Triumph Spitfire Mk4 & Stag; MG TC, TD & one of those early 90's Rover V8 MGB thingies. There's a goldish MGBGT waaaay in back, a BRG TR7 or TR8 roadster next to a black TR2, and a 70's Orange Jensen Interceptor.

Replying to: karsick (Oct 15, 2008 3:31 pm) I would agree with most of your choices for the background, (and you have good eyeight and a good monitor) but the Jensen is, as fintail observed, a Jensen-Healey. However the yellow car next to the Spitfire is a Reliant Scimitar GTC - they made those as an alternative to the GTE in the early 80's. |

Replying to: boomchek (Oct 15, 2008 3:18 pm) The Reliant was always sold mainly to old folks, and had a pretty nerdy reputation even when new - turning up on a date in one wouldn't have been a good start. One of the most popular comedy shows on TV here for years had a couple of blokes who were running round in a Reliant van - it was meant to be a funny touch, but has had the effect of popularising the older Reliants. I've travelled in one, and did drive it once around a car park - a fellow student used to have one back in the 70's- they were generally reliable, but fiddly to work on.
