Welcome to another Canadian.
It shows they last a long time when not driven in the winter here. How long have you had the Reliant?
I have had mine for 23 years now with 114,000 Km.

well i can confirm,this is not a 2.6 but indead a 2.2

my father inlaw bought this car in 81 straight out of the showroom,he passed away 3 years ago,but before he did,he asked me to take care of his pride and joy for him,so it has been in my garage for around 5 years now,i took it to the big car show in granby qc last year,and got 4th place,went back this year and the judges barley looked at,as they thought it had no place in the car show,funny how loads of people stop to take pics of it,more people photographed that K car then the 69 nova beside me,go figure

Then why do I see the little silver badges below the reliant badge that say 2.6 Hemi, if you look at my 81 you do not see the little silver badges, this indicates that I have the 2.2 engine
