Just seen the online preview article at https://www.autocar.co.uk/magazine

The car looks lovely.

I will look out for the magazine.

Cheers Dan
It was really memorable seeing my car in the Original Gilbern Sprayshop,( Dragons Den)when it was last in there some 46 years ago ! :D
And Peter Ryan was next door in his unit too with his gilberns, very annoyingly the mag got his surname wrong and used Lyons :oops:

Hi,
Loved the article, especially as I was there only 3 weeks ago in the same place on a Gilbern Factory visit. The yellow really looks great especially as the autocar printing is so good quality. Shame there was nothing in the index or Front cover to say there was a Gilbern article on many pages.

Loved it, thank you
Neil

The setting for the photo shoot is perfect. There is something about the contrast between the yellow of the car and the 1970s of the workshop in the background. I see a future Rarebit front page here.
All the best,

Ian

You never know ,I’ve never been inside this part of the original factory before , you can even see the original vent in the roof for paint fume extraction, it was like stepping back in time 46 years!!
Would make an amazing ‘gilbern’ museum, Peter Ryan May be persuaded he’s already got the exhibits next door!

When I visited Peter in the summer that part of the complex was closed, but Peter did show me around this workshop; made me a very nice cup of tea (I'll be going back for more), and introduced me to his rallying friend two doors down.

I had a lovely time and thoroughly enjoyed myself.
All the best,

Ian
