1963 GILBERN GT 1800

The GT, a 2+2 two door coupé was the company's first car and was made between 1959 and 1967. The GT Mk 1 was initially available with either 948 cc Austin-Healey Sprite with an optional Shorrocks supercharger or Coventry Climax 1098 cc engines. The chassis was fabricated from square steel tubing and the front suspension was initially from the Austin A35. The body was a one piece moulding. Later versions came with a B-series 1500 or 1600 cc MGA or 1800 cc MGB engine and coil sprung BMC rear axle. With the coming of the larger engine, the car was renamed the 1800GT.Often called a budget Aston Martin. Here we offer superb example that has recently emerged from a complete ground up restoration.Acquired by the last owner as stripped down basket case,who then embarked on major nut and bolt rebuild when most parts were either replaced or refurbished. The chassis for example was professionally repaired and upgraded with extra material for extra strength and rigidity. The car was the professionally repainted in an original 1963 Gilbern colour, reupholstered and carpeted. The final result being an award winning show car and a great credit to the restorer. The car comes with a comprehensive history file detailing all aspects of the rebuild. Part exchange considered. Please call me on 01676 533949 0r 07860804390 for an appointment to view.
