where are they now?
Discussion
Do you know of any Gilberns that need rescuing or are you looking for a Gilbern to buy?
Did you once own a Gilbern or are you trying to locate it again, then post a reply here? Several cars were exported or taken abroad are they still about?
This could be a sort of matchmaking forum for existing and potential owners!

Do you happen to know what the Reg is or what Mk this gilbern is? If you get a chance try to find out the chassis No, which is punched into a plate on the frame in the engine bay.
Maybe the owner has been meaning to do it up but hasn't been able to find the time.... yet?As you know If its not on SORN then the owner risks having it scrapped, which would be a shame. Its got a certain limited value, but if its a 'non-runner'in poor condition then you would have to be pretty dedicated to put it back on the road.( which isn't impossible as there are still most parts available to recommission them).
Good luck with you enquiries.

I will email you a list of possible cars for sale to you soon. No further news on the car posted above sorry, you do see some going on ebay sometimes, keep looking and good luck with finding one.
Hi Si J,
this is an early Gilbern Genie with wire wheels. ( MGB axles? )
I am very interested in the details of this car , as I am trying to build a Genie database for the GOC. This maybe a chassis number below no 40 due to the wire wheels, unless it was an optional extra ordered for the car?
It would be very helpful to have any more details you can get, especially a number plate or chassis number?
Regards Julian ( can you please email me off list on julian@crinall.fsworld.co.uk if you are able to establish any more details or you can provide a location on this car. Looks like it needs saving soon?)

There are no number plates visable on the car, I couldn't get many more photos as the location only has a single track road next to it and someone wanted to get past. I'll park further away next time and get some more photos as there is also something very interesting in the back yard of the property. As for the property itself, I'm thinking twice about knocking on the door and inquireing, Leatherface might answer
I'll contact you with the location details, I'd like to "rescue" it myself
My old Mk3 is on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dl
Its not looking its best but has been dry stored for many years, I sold it a few years ago to its current owner for £100 as he assured me he would NOT let it go to waste
and for some reason he no longer has the rear screen.

I've bought this Red Genie and hopefully it's restorable ...

Contact me off line and I'll give your more details on Monday after I've collected it.
