Reliant Scimitar GTE

The Scimitar GTE essentially invented the sports estate genre, predating Volvo's efforts by years. Its Ogle-designed fiberglass body offered rust-free motoring and practical load space without sacrificing style. Famously driven by Princess Anne, it gained royal approval and cult following among enthusiasts seeking distinctive practicality.
