From the seller: “Very rare 1959 Reliant Regal mark 5 saloon in nice condition throughout. Restored approx 2010 and displayed at the Bubblecar museum for a few years. Good chassis and very respectable classic car.Interior very nice and more photos at the weekend. Motor turns over with the key nicely but has poor spark which I will try to look at. It was driven into a warm barn nearly 5 years ago and rescued a month ago. I have the full V5c log book here and some nice display items for the classic car shows. It’s a lovely looking car that’s nearly 65 years old and won’t take long to get it back on the rally scene. It’s historic taxation class so tax and mot not required”
