Fantastic Reliant Sabre 6GT for sale!   Message List

RE: [Historic Rallying] Re: Fantastic Reliant Sabre 6GT for sale!

Out of interest its not actually the ORIGINAL Halda although obviously
identical to one that was there. I know because Eric Wrixon who had the car
in Ireland charmed me out of one I had for peanuts many years ago!! Together
with a Lucas rooflight.

Hi all - if anyone is interested I have WGV 287 which is the 4th car
built that year by Reliant alongside 648 to 650 GUE for Graham P Warner,
the Bury St Edmonds dealer. Graham did the RAC rally and the Monte Carlo
starting from Minsk with the car. Featured in Don Pithers book on
Reliants.

The car is whole following a part restoration in Ireland 10ish years ago
but in my view needs taking apart and putting back together again
properly with fresh paint and trim. Many many spares and pretty much
complete (plus lots of other parts) - even the original metal cased
twinmaster on the dash. Too much to list. Lots of work required, but a
mega car.

Im considering selling the car (plus absolutely all the spares that come
with it) this winter as I have another Triumph TR4 project which is
likely to take up all of my time and money if it turns out to be genuine
- id rather it went to a rally man soon than through auction in 2007 so
please get in touch if you are interested.


Kind regards

Tony

I think Dave has decided not to sell the car. I happen to have the dashboard in my garage at the moment as I am building an entirely new wiring harness for him...

Ah well that'll be why there are 2 halda's (one complete, the other on the dash with no side case!) and a rooflight but no hole in the roof! Another mystery...
