Reminds me of Ken Newell's Quasars from the 70s.
I'd be interested to see how the Guzzi box marries up to the Reliant motor. Did they build an auto Guzzi?

I think these where something to do with them in some vague way but not sure yet.

And also with a chap named Royce whom I think lives around here.

I will aslo try to get photo's an a write up of Q's Voyager if I can.

Ooh, yes please! We get so many promises of write ups but very few actually arrive.
If anyone owns or knows of an interesting vehicle, whether it's 2, 3 or 4 wheeled, grab a few photos & jot down a few words for us please. G'wan, g'wan, g'wan.  Grin

Looks like there is an adaptor plate to fit the guzzi box to the reliant will e-mail Q (the owner of Voyager 03) and see if he has any drawings.

The motors where also tuned to produce 60BHP by a company called SCL.
