Picture of the Month – March
GOC
Swansea Bus Museum
After a very successful event at the venue last year, Saturday 1st March saw a return to the Swansea Bus Museum for the Gilbern Owners Club.
With vehicles displayed both indoors and outside, eighteen cars attended on a beautiful sunny day to demonstrate the variety of models from the Welsh car producer on it’s home turf.
As well as the cars on display, various information boards helped to tell the story of the Gilbern Company and the evolution of the models from the first car built in 1959 through to the end of production in 1973.
Many thanks to the Museum for all their support and assistance in hosting this special event.
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.
