Reliant Motor Club FAQs

How does the RMC differ from other clubs?

The main intention of the RMC is to provide as much material as possible about Reliant and the cars it manufactured.  Therefore, where as a more traditional club may just concentrate on specific models, the RMC will cover everything and, for the first time for a Reliant related club, will offer numerous items from its archives on-line.

Does this club replace other clubs?

No, the RMC is instead an enhancement to other clubs that may exist providing additional information on the Reliant marque.

You are then a member and able to login.
