Spent many years grovelling under this much loved beast until expanding family forced sale. It was, until comparatively recently, within the owners club but now seems to have disappeared. I would welcome news of this car and would also like to buy it back if possible - has to be better than anti ageing cream!!

Shame you don't spend so much effort looking for the "expanding family" you abandoned as you do looking for a rusting heap of metal.

Good luck with your search.

Lots of love

"Expanding family"

Further to your son's (1 of 4 not 2 as alleged elsewhere) comment above:
To set the record straight, I think it was Dick Curzons who spent many hours underneath the Gilbern doing his best to keep it on the road for me.
Secondly, I seem to remember the Gilbern was changed for a more pretentious BMW GT - nothing to do with size of family.
Nice to think the truth catches up occasionally.

Memory failing in old age is it? The Gilbern was changed for a Hillman Humter - a more unprententious beast would be hard to imagine!! Just to set the record straight so to speak.

Bye Bye

Keith, There is a K.V.Morgans, Plymouth Devon in the Club records but no associated car!

The car it self is on record as being with it's 4th owner, a member in Hampshire and the first owner listed was in 1999.

When did you own the car?
Was it from new?

I bought this Gilbern off the member in Hampshire min the mid 90s, sadly an engine fire on the M1 and the resulting poor repairs meant I lost confidence in it. I sold it to my father as a project for him to restore (well put right the repairs that had been bodged) in his retirement and currently she languishes in his garden.
