Picture of the Month – March
Another one Saved !
The Gilbern Owners Club occasionally rescue project vehicles with the aim to keeping as many cars as possible viable, and hopefully seeing them returned to the road in the future.
This month saw the rescue of an Invader Estate from it’s resting place in rural West Wales. With the aid of a tractor and some local members the car was loaded and recovered to safe storage.
A bit of local knowledge goes a long way and with assistance from other GOC members in South and West Wales the original engine for the vehicle has been found and purchased and so the two will be reunited.
The car will be assessed and where possible any missing parts will be sourced from the club stock of used parts before being offered for sale to members as a restoration project.

About the Club
The Gilbern Owners Club was founded in 1969 by Martin Ingall, our President, when the cars were still in production. In November 1979, with the expansion of the Club’s activities, it was decided to incorporate the Club as a company limited by guarantee.
The Gilbern is a specialist car that attracts people who are interested in the vehicle they drive. Experience with other makes where the manufacturer has ceased production shows the importance of an owners’ club in the maintenance of the marque. Without this interest and support, the general condition of the cars may decline and spares may become harder to find, with a consequent potential drop in the value of the cars.
Our objective is to ensure the continued existence of Gilbern cars by encouraging interest and enthusiasm in the marque. We provide a range of technical services and organise activities and motoring events to bring together Gilbern Owners and enthusiasts.
One of the Club’s major objectives is to ensure that no shortage of parts occurs which would render a member’s car un-roadworthy or unusable. With the help of a wide range of suppliers, we have been very successful and most essential components are available.
A monthly magazine, Welsh Rarebit, together with this website are the main forms of communication with our members.
