Other Activities & Support
The Club maintains registers of the history and details of individualvehicles.
We aim to provide a comprehensive spares service to ensure that any Gilbern part required by Club members is available. The Club currently stocks a range of spare parts for all models.
We also maintain a register of suppliers of other items and maintain contact with them to ensure, wherever possible, that all parts remain in production. In addition, the Club may invest in the production of items that are no longer commercially available.
The Club provides an advisory service through its ‘marque specialist’ members to provide advice on restoration, modifications, repairs and any other matters of concern.MXsponsor: Background Information

Our Publications
Communication between members is an essential feature of the Club’s activities.
Every member is sent a copy of our regular journal, “Rarebit”. Members contribute details of Club activities, events, notes on the availability of spares and accessories, reports of regional meetings, technical articles and “For Sale” and “Wanted” advertisements.
The Club maintains a website at www.gilbernoc.co.uk.
Rarebit is supported by the forums on the ‘Gilblog’ section of the Club website, including sections that are available for public view and sections that are only accessible to Club members.
The Club has published collections of magazine road-tests and articles.
