90th Anniversary of Reliant 1935 - 2025

To celebrate the 90th Anniversary or Reliant we thought we would mark the occasion in several ways.  These are as follows::

Update RMC website to 1,000 documents

Since the RMC was formed in 2016 one of our goals has long been to have 1,000 documents available on-line.  Therefore, for the 90th Anniversary, we scanned an additional 80 documents and uploading them taking the total to just over 1,000 documents on-line. 

The RMC website must now be the largest on-line Reliant archive in the world!

Special 90th  Anniversary edition of the Reliant Motor Club Review

90_magazine

Our club magazine, the Reliant Motor Club Review , is released bi-annually and has always received positive feedback.  Whilst the magazine, that is always in an electronic PDF format is for members only, for the 90th Anniversary, we have created a special jam-packed edition, that like our very first magazine in 2016, is available to both members and non-members for free.

The magazine can be downloaded from our Magazine section..

Reliant video on the Reliant crash test footage from MIRA 1970-1974

90_crash

Back in August 20 the RMC rescued a number of items that included 10 cannisters of 18mm film.  When we had these digitised it turned out that each reel of film contained crash test footage of various Reliant vehicles from 1970 - 1974.  Filmed at the MIRA crash test facility the films covered the Regal Supervan, Scimitar GTE, Rebel, Kitten and Bond Bug. 

We have now combined all these into a film presented by Harvey Payne.

The film can be seen on our YouTube channel.

Reliant video on photos from our archives converted to video with A.I

90_ai

Generative A.I has had quite an impact on modern day life and so we thought we would combine A’I with various images in our archives to create 6 second video clips, and in some cases the results were quite amazing ... and in others not so good.

We have now combined all these into a film presented by Harvey Payne.

The film can be seen on our YouTube channel.

QR Code placed on Tom Williams’ grave with RMC memorial

90_toms_grave

Since discovering the location of Reliant founder, Tom Williams’ grave in Tamworth, the RMC applied for permission to clean and maintain the grave given that Tom had no surviving family members.  After cleaning away 60 years worth of grime the grave was cleaned last year and for the 90th Anniversary we are delighted to attach a weather proof QR code to Tom's grave, allowing anyone to scan it with a mobile device and read about Tom, in addition to placing a permanent RMC memorial vase on the grave,
