- In 1975 Princess Anne visited the Reliant Motor Company at Tamworth. This superb cine film footage is from 15th July 1975 and lasts about 28 minutes! Princess Anne arrives at Reliant (Two Gates) in her own Reliant Scimitar GTE and is greated by the managing director Ray Wiggin and his wife. HRH then goes for a reception in the canteen where she meets the Mayor and Mayoress of Tamworth and the Chief Constable of Staffordshire. The Princess is then taken on a tour of the Reliant premises at Two Gates, Kettlebrook and shenstone.
The music and dubbing is a little off-putting, but I am sure you will enjoy the historical content!!

I am always looking for footage or photographs of the Reliant Factory and their cars, especially the Sabre 4 & 6, Scimitar GT, GTE, GTC, SS1, SST and Scimitar Sabre or any prototype vehicles!
This is lovely...my Dad worked at Reliant as an Inspector..not spotted him on the clip but I was 6 and remember Mum trying to stop me ducking under the barrier to get a better view. Thank you for sharing

Lovely video. Well done.
Thank you very much!
Oh wow, she does have a Reliant Schimitar.
What a nice little timepiece!
She opened the motor show in 1973 and said she'd like to visit Reliant... then "suddenly" that day arrived in 1975. LOL
I'm not a car buff but I can't help but think this film could be used to induce sleep. It's the voice over. Sounds like someone reading from prepared notes for a business slide show.
Uhhhhhhh....how SEEEOOOOOOPER DOOOPER!
@marsha eisner Well put.
