Well, it was going to say Iche Da as the title, but I don't actually know how to spell it. My spelling tends to be from the left bank of the Atlantic anyway...

I spotted my first pair of Gilberns at Ron Harper's shop in Middlesbrough about ten years ago; about five years ago I took the plunge and bought one, a Mark 3 Invader that had been standing for almost a decade. It was a lot of fun, but after driving it a year, I took it to to see Phil Ivimey, who gave it a thorough inspection, and pointed out the remarkable lack of chassis tubes...

I now have another Mark 3; I am hopeful that this one is more solid!

As of last night, I have acquired a GT as well, so I am set for a summer's worth of motoring adventure, just a bit of sorting and recommissioning to do first.

If, by chance you are unfamiliar with the marque, I would like to direct you to the excellent site maintained by Paul Clark of the Gilbern Owners Club. The address is www.gilbernoc.co.uk

Enjoy!

Ah, I see what you mean - I had an extra full stop (punctuation for the sentence) which attached itself to the URL in the link. Sorry about that!
