Wiscombe Park – Five Clubs Hillclimb
Wiscombe Park in Devon has been the venue for Hill Climb events since the late 1950s, with a long history of Gilberns competing since the early 60s.
This year saw an impressive turnout of nine Gilberns entered for the Five Clubs Wiscombe Hillclimb meeting over the weekend of 4th/5th September.
Our main image shows the long line of Gilberns in the paddock over the weekend.
With the continued relaxation of Covid restrictions this event allowed spectators, and a number of Gilbern Owners Club members attended the event over the weekend.
Please visit the Gallery pages to view more images of Gilbern cars from events around the country.
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.
