It's not possible to tell which of them is from this angle. - from /vehicle_87075-Reliant-Scimitar-GT-SE4A-1967.html . I'd go for 67 SE4a 3-litre. Phil the Greek's car was the unique 1966 Ogle Triplex GTS (Glazing Test Special) based on Scimitar - http://www.sporting-reliants.com/Prototypes.htm - just distinguishable in thumb. -- Last edit: 2012-06-30 01:08:11
