The Reliant SS1 was launched in 1984 on a chassis inspired by the Lotus Elan and initially powered by a 1.3 litre (later replaced by 1.4 litre) and 1.6 litre Ford CVH engines. With a four speed box in the smaller engined car and five speed in the 1.6.
The suspension was independent all round using coil springs with semi trailing arms at the rear. The body panels were made of polyurethane or glass reinforced polyester, fitted to a semi-space frame backbone chassis. The panels were designed to be easily removed and replaced to repair accident damage. A removable hard top was available as an option.
In 1986, the range was joined by the CA18ET 1809 cc turbocharged engine from the Nissan Silvia. The 1800Ti, as the Nissan-engined version was known, received standard alloy wheels and a small rear spoiler and gave the car a significant performance boost with a power output of 135 bhp and a reported top speed of 126mph.
This car had unusual uncovered rectangular Porsche 928 style pop-up headlamps
