There's a partially complete gallery on that site for all 77 with some 2-tone grey examples ..... -- Last edit: 2011-11-16 19:23:30

SE6b lost the horizontal trim, but had logo in grille so does not match either. Comparative pictures at http://www.sporting-reliants.com/Reliant_Sports_Car_Index.htm .

Hope this helps. Micky G Middlebridge Scimitar Registrar. www.middlebridge-scimitar.co.uk
