thanks for the positive comments Yes Graham Walker does own the rights to manufacture "Scimitar GTE's and GTC's and Old IP etc Kevin Halstead Reliant parts world and GM performance parts world has registered the name "Scimitar GTE and GTC" If we decide to proceed a deal will be worked out in the future, we need to have a viable marketable product first Yes HRH does still own a Scimitar... I think she would approve !

Register it as a new car. There's no reason why it can't be. Tbh, no one would be mad enough to spend that money on a Scimitar If they're registered correctly i'm pretty sure my dad would be interested in buying one that's why I asked.

It's definitely worth a call to Graham then. I'm sure he'd be delighted to discuss a brand new Scimitar

Yes talks have been had, and agreed in principal I just need to decide if its a license deal or outright purchase... However, Product first Those of you that know Graham's facilities Sales/Servicing and parts and his location there are other possibilities we need to investigate... Each car will be built to current EU regs and registered as a new ! but before anyone gets excited at 250mph plus they will not be cheap the drivetrain alone costs £85,800 ! Then there,s composite body, glass, electrics, interior, and a mass of bespoke parts, and half a million pounds of development and testing to go.... MIRA wind tunnel, reliability etc etc etc Although the bug Veyron can do 260mph+ tyres last 12 mins and fuel lasts ten mins at that speed.. So we have other challeges to over come aswell... Hence the Silver State Classic USA
