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.

Replying to: magnette (Oct 15, 2008 11:44 pm)  . They are odd looking cars. I don't think they'd ever be sold here as they woudn't pass safety standards, unless they'd be classified as some sort of a motorcycle thingie.
