September 1996.
On the way home after buying.

After looking through, it showed,
that there was a lot of work ahead.
The chassis after painting.
The rolling chassis!
Engine and gearbox had to be completely stripped.
All new bearings. Pistons and liners proved to be ok - luckily, for the 600 cc ones are no longer available!
Other spare parts are still available in England.
It needed a lot of glass fibre repair.
This was easily done.
After respray.
I did it in the garage. But it turned out quite well.
June 1997
Ready to go!
A luxury car, isn´t it?
The wood-trim on the doors is not original. There has been board and plastic.
And the inside was grey glass fibre body. Not too cosy.
August 1998
"10th International Three-wheeler Meeting" in Belzig, south of Berlin.
August 1999
Reliant Owners Club "Frog Rally" in Holland. This was a nice tour!
