Yes, Roger is correct, Adrian Ball was Reliant's PR man and produced the Reliant Review News papers.Roger Pennington wrote: ↑Sun Feb 03, 2019 10:14 pmI'm not certain of his official title, but I think he was effectively Reliant's publicity man / graphic designer for much of the key period. Many of the brochures, Owners' handbooks, etc., say something like "Designed by Adrian Ball & Associates" on them.

Hi,
Sadly I don't have any colour photos of AUE 38B from the early days, only from early 1980's when Barry Herber owned it. All the magazine articles I have of it are in black and white.
Cheers
Dave

Thanks Steve, that's great
TWY 151F I had no details apart from chassis no
OTG 21F I have in Derbyshire, not sure why or when
ATN 48J I did not have the reg no! though I have your name against it in 2011
ORE 243F is chassis 400819, I have as sold to Nick and on the road 2018
CRE 801E I remember well, did it ever get transformed into a TVR?
There are photos of the last two only.
Have you approximate dates for your ownerships?

That one is a bit promiscuous - after Nick it went to Corky for a while before moving to Devon (I think) and through the hands of a few dealers.

Right, we are online with .png files of the list sorted by 1/ chassis number and 2/ registration number.
I'll see if I can improve quality in due course ...
