With Thanks
This project has involved the input of many people and companies. The list is growing and in particular the following individuals & organisations have been invaluable.
The Family
Without my Mother paying the rent on the council garage the car would not have survived. The main bulk of the restoration has taken place on her driveway & garage. Her patience is appreciated ! My Brother has been an invaluable source of help including fabrication, sourcing fittings & sorting out the painting set up. And thanks to Juanita, Stef, Karla & Alex for providing some of the muscle power !
CHG Classics
James Holland has been my main source of OEM parts & encyclopedic knowledge of Reliants.
EMS, Westcott
This small engineering set up provided vital help with engine block pressings & honing as well as dismantling the diff assembly.
The Reliant Owners Club
Vital for the successful reclaiming of the vehicles registration from DVLA. Individual members have also contributed valuable information.
Internet & Facebook forums
A lot of useful hints, tips and advice is available for the Reliant owner through various forums, often inhabited by club members. Some members have provided inspiration and advice that has saved me a great deal of trouble and expense. Without listing individuals, the following sites have been of immense use;
