Very rare opportunity to own an original Gilbern GT. one of only 177 produced. Wonderful opportunity.

 

This car was registered in Gloucestershire on 4th October 1965. The car was supplied by GS Cars of Bristol to a local man Mr H Haycock of Warmley. Bristol. Interestingly GS Cars sold this car a further two times on a used car basis. The car still retains a GS Cars sticker on it's dashboard.

 

This particular GT is somewhat of a mystery as it is the only car to sport a square rear window. when first supplied the car was green in colour. this was later changed to red when it was in the ownership of Ridian Jeffries of Taunton. some photographs survive of it in this colour and it was also recorded in the paddock at Wiscombe in 1984. it is reputed that the engine is fitted with Power-Max +60 high compression pistons and a gas flowed head. unfortunately the paperwork to substantiate this has been mislayed or destroyed in a Matrimonial Dispute. It can be confirmed that the car is fitted with larger carbs which is an indication that the above may be correct and from the reduced movement on the gear stick a close ratio overdrive gearbox would appear to have been fitted.

 

The car was taken off the road in 2001 and stripped down for a full body colour change. to metallic silver. the fit of the panels. doors etc is very good. the re-spray was done to a very high standard at a cost of £2. 00. however the vehicle has been stored in a barn since and the paint has unfortunately micro blistered. During the 1980's the car had it's floors removed and some chassis work was carried out. fortunately the doors were only refitted with pop rivets so it will be an easy job to remove them again and carry out further chassis repairs. The car is bacisally complete which makes for an easier restoration project.

 

The following new parts are with the car or have already been fitted:

 

1 Aluminium radiator grill

2 Chrome boot hinges

1 Rear boot seal rubber

1 GT bonnet badge

1 Bonnet seal rubber

2 Black and silver number plates

1 Steel petrol tank

1 Windscreen seal rubber and chrome filter

1 Rear screen seal rubber and chrome filter

2 Door Frame Seals

2 Rear side window seals

Happy to export the car. please let me know.

Good luck!
