panels and fibreglass bodywork.

Fiat 1108cc ‘FIRE’ engine. Tuning
on the Reliant is quite extensive, whilst the
Fiat engine is basically standard. With both
engines induction is restricted to one carburettor
choke; exhaust system is free. Power outputs
are in the region of 65 - 70 bhp, but the cars
weigh about 350kgs. Average lap speed is 85-95mph.
