    Factory Turbo Reliant Wagon

    This should pretty much prove these cars were made for Goverment use. The fugly green paint and tan interior give this one away as a National Park Service model. Judging by the underhood shots it's a safe bet it's the original color.

    Cool. I don't have pics, but the MP's on Ft Belvior in Va had a couple T-I K-cars back in the late 80's. They were 4dr cars. I saw them first hand.

    If you ever see one let me know. I looked for years and never saw one. Always thought a turbo reliant would be stupid fun. Especially back in the late 80's early 90's.

    I've seen one of those before. Just one though.

    Another oddball car I saw once that I'd like to have was an '88 Caravelle with a factory TI/5-speed.

    Come to think of it, I did once too. Thought it was odd. Like a 5 spd in a New Yorker.

    Re: Factory Turbo Reliant Wagon

    I'm not sure, I just found the pics on Picasaweb. I was using the search function to find pictures of Turbo T&C wagons and i ran accross the pictures I posted. The users name was "guy", and he seemed to have some link to the K car club, as several of the photos he had were of K car club meets.

    I wonder is this "Guy" and the Guy from the K-car Club here in SoCal are the same dude? A few of those guys come out to the Meet at Apple-bee's... That sure would be a cool relic to own!

    He might still be the "guy" that posted the picture, as the prez of the club he might have just posted a bunch of pictures he's collected. If it turns out that this "guy" and the one that posted the pictures are both CPAs, I think that would seal the deal!

    That's pretty neat Alan! If I'd realized you were somewhat near the wagon I'd have sent you a PM...BTW if you get the chance, I'd love to see a picture of Mike's driveway

    Johnny Spiva has a silver one that the Giveaway engine is going in. The Pope has a white one that's getting a 2.4 SRT4/holset setup. The pope's has tan interior, that one does, I wonder if Johnny's and the rest of them have tan interiors as well.
