What is that G reg dark blue coupe with the tatty webasto roof and wire wheels? A Gilbern maybe?

Unusual not to see a collection like this half covered by jungle!

put me down for the mini pickup mentioned in the text!

Could this be the possible location of these cars?

I reckon you're right.

So do I, it's one of these:


A Gilbern Genie. Is extra anorakage value available for knowing that the grille and marker lamps are from the MK1 ADO16?

I'll leave it to someone else to tell us where the drop and quarter pane frames came from.

Maybe the ADO 16 bits is the reason I like the Gilbern.

I did have an ADO 16 once - Morris 1100S Mk 1

It's a pity someone parked a Ford Exploder among all those nice classics.

Cheers,
