An MGB with a plastic body? Although this description would not be completely wrong in the case of the Gilbern G.T. 1800, it would be far too short-sighted. Although many components came from the British mass-produced car, the Gilbern, which was only produced in just over 200 units, differed significantly from the MG with its own tubular frame and individual plastic body as well as four seats inside. This driving report tells the story of the little-known small-series sports car and shows it in current and historical pictures as well as in sales material from the time.
With the Gilbern Invader, the British manufacturer, which produced sports cars in small series in Wales, continued its tradition of compact and powerful coupés with plastic bodies and tubular chassis. Equipped with the popular Ford Essex V6 engine, the 2+2-seater offered impressive performance and also proved itself in everyday use. This driving report tells the story of this rare sports car and shows it in historical and current images, as well as in the sales literature of the time.
