Scimitar breakers needed, anybody know of one?
I have posted in the wanted section but figured here would also be warranted.
I am after a reliant scimitar se5 axle for a project, and while everybody I talk to says "great, they're common as muck and cost two
pence" none of them actually has one!!
There must be a scimitar specialist somewhere in the midlands that has an se5 in, its just a case of finding it!!

yep both 4ha's, but the one in wrexham is definitely an se6 one.
I've messaged the chap selling the other one as its only just up the road, here's hoping its an se5 one!!

Just a thought

there used to be a scimitar restoration company at barns heath farm in appleby magna near measham last time i was up there a couple of months ago
the company had gone but there was a couple of old scimitars still round the back it may be worth a ride iver to have a look
