Comments: Hello I was having a chat with my Dad about 001048 the invader mk2 he said that the grill wasn't factory but was fitted quite early on in the cars life part of a repair as a result of accident damage the stag I remember. The crack in the grill (we were not able to find a replacement,,, was the result of an encounter with a sheep.
We did know the buyer from us and about the rear end shunt however I didn't know that she was a total loss. Dave
Admin reply: Hi Dave, I have just been doing our annual check with DVLA to see how many Gilberns are taxed or on Sorn (MK1 21 taxed, 11 on Sorn & MK2, 36 taxed, 36 on Sorn) and came across the fact that the reg number OO1048 is now on a Jag. So there is a chance that your dads car is still about but with a different reg number. I shall have to keep an eye out for the chassis number to appear. There are a considerable number of cars that were taken off the road pre-sorn so they are not in the new DVLA system Gavin

Comments: Hi thanks for the reply. The grill was like that when we got the car. i believe that there may have been a run in with a stag (and not the triumph kind!!) But I believe that it may have been like this when it was built. I do remember going to some of the meetings with my dad in pub beer gardens. I also remember that the bonnet vented when the engine got a little warm.

Comments: Hello some years ago (in the 1880s early 1990s) my Dad owned an invader 2 reg OO1048 I know the car was crashed a few years after we sold her and I think she was written off after a rear end shunt? He was an active member of the gilbern owners club and I think submitted to rarebit a few times? His name is Tony Green. I wondered if anyone has any record or knows the where abouts of the car? We are both now Scimitar owners so didn't street far from the grp fold.
Dave
Admin reply: Hi Dave. This car disappeared from our records around 1995-96 when it was in the Manchester area, so your assumption that it had been written off may be correct. I have one pic of it during your fathers ownership showing that it had a completely different front grill than normal. It was mounted upside down and may have been a little wider than standard. Do you know it this had been modified or was how it came from the factory? I will try and sent Paul a pic so that he can post it. Regards Gavin Invader MK1&2 historian

Comments: Always liked the look of the Gilbern but never owned one. Now able to begin to look for a mid priced car. Plenty of expensive coupes out there but I would really like a Genie for preference. Any one know of one for sale? Many thanks, Will
Admin reply: Hi Will, finding a Gilbern for sale is not an easy task, why don't you email me on briangent57@gmail.com so that we can discuss your exact requirements.
Any car with a rusty chassis, is going to cost bucket loads to restore.
Regards
Brian
