Description
So although I am Motor Trade this Tempest TT is my Fathers car and has been, for the 28 years. It has been loved & cherished and it will be a sad day for him when it sells. Dad is 85 now and although he’s fit, able and still driving, he feels it’s time to move her on.
He writes:
The car for sale is a “Tempest” built by John Box & Ian Foster who started selling kits to go on four-wheel Reliant’s.
It is one of three cars they built themselves from a NEW Reliant chassis and running gear.
John Box was an engineer employed as a consultant by Reliant.
The body is aluminium and fibreglass on a galvanised chassis.
This Tempest TT competed in long-distance trials (Lands End, Exeter, Edinburgh etc.) successfully for about 5-6 years and is the white car shown in the Tempest Brochure!
I purchased the car in 1996 and have meticulously maintained and loved it for all that time. Pictured is everything mechanically I have done to it over the years.
