1984 Reliant Fox Custom Van/Pick-Up Registration no. A600 EPK Chassis no. SCD170156DL000199
Manufactured between 1983 and 1990, the Reliant Fox was a compact multi-purpose vehicle that was built for economy and durability. Launched with a fibreglass body and a 40bhp 848cc four-cylinder engine, the Fox offered a variety of different uses as either a pick-up (with a hard or soft-top), a van, an estate, or a convertible. This 1984 example is a custom van/pick-up (with a factory hard-top) that was purchased new by the vendor's late husband. Used as her daily driver until 1997, the car has since been in dry storage in a barn and is now being sold for restoration. The body has held up remarkably well over the years and is overall solid, and the interior is also in a surprisingly presentable condition. The car is overall complete and comes with some history including its V5 log book. These are now rare and this Fox offers excellent potential as a project.
