Reliant Rebel
The Reliant Rebel was a small car produced by Reliant between 1964 and 1974, conceived as an niche rival to the Austin Mini and Hillman Imp, it was seen as the smart alternative as it had a rust free body, robust chassis and frugal fuel economy. It was produced in saloon, estate and van variants in 600, 700 and 750 engine forms.
== Development ==
The car was a brain child of Ray Wiggins after the founder of the Reliant (T L Williams) died as Ray believed that not all people would be driving 3 wheeled vehicles such as Reliant's Regal model in the future.
So Reliant engineers set to work on the current Reliant Regal 3/25 to see what they could create, they built a rolling chassis using many parts from other countries to give it a conventional front engine steering/suspension but felt Reliant's 600cc engine wouldn't pull the weight of a finished car, so Reliant's engineers skimmed the cylinder head and fitted larger valves to the 600cc engine to give better torque for better pulling power of the extra weight, these engines were specific to the Reliant Rebel.
After this Reliant set Ogle to design the Rebel with the reasoning it should look completely different to the Reliant Regal but to retain some of its parts like its doors and windscreen to save some production costs. The car debuted in 1964 to the public with the show cars been pre production models built in Turkey which were then driven to the Earls Court over night to properly test the durability of them.
