Gilbern GT spotted in Burnley

[acbluemarlin]

06:45 yesterday morning whilst walking the dog I spotted a grey Gilbern GT with a Webasto type sunroof turning onto Lakeland Way in Burnley. Looked like driver and passenger off for an adventure on what was a gorgeous spring morning. I’ve lived in that area of Burnley for 25 years and in Burnley all my life and can’t remember seeing it before. Anyone on here know anything about it? Didn’t manage to snap a picture unfortunately.

And two Gilbern GTs spotted in my garage!

Of the 202 built the owners club known/estimate of those it can account for is approx. 100, a good survival rate.

Production started in '59 using A series engines, a few of which were supercharged, by '63 the B series was being used, and accounted for the lion's share of production, and along the way the Ford V4 went into a couple of cars, MGA engines went into a couple, a one-off was fitted with a Coventry Climax and also a one-off with a Chevy small block.

Coincidence? I did this as a screenshot from a youtube video almost exactly 3 yrs ago to the day.

Not sure if the vid is still up on youtube, but the description matches yours well, eh?

Think the motorway was M6 'going North'.

My Gilbern GT was a covid tragedy, had to go as I took a year off/had no work.

I hope to get back in one, great car, hoot to drive.

The grey one on the M6 looks very similar. My suspicion it’s local to Burnley comes from the early hour of the sighting.

Vincent Kompany off for an interview at Chelsea?
