Gilbern Estate . For Sale
You saw it here first!
Anyone here need another project before I post on Ebay?
After some years on my poor mothers drive I've persuaded my bro to sell this project ( so I can have the room for a trailer  )
Its a 1972 MKII Gilbern Estate, and I gather they were only about 100 ever built.
Condition wise I would describe it as "complete but in need of full restoration".
It was running when it was bought and since had the chassis welded with a view to a rolling restoration and the engine (3.0L V6 with o/d) last ran
about 3 years ago.
There is a folder full of history with it as well as a (unneeded) spare gearbox.
The body has the usual firberglass age crazing, but is sound, the interior is all there, but as with the restof the car needs restoration.
If anyones interested, let me know, if there's any hard questions I'll put you in direct contact with my bro.
See pic. Cheers

Good question!!
He's looking for £1200 ono.
I watched a non complete body stripped off chassis shed of a car go for £640 a few weeks ago, and a nice one go last week for £3500 so he's
probably not far off?

Guy at my local garage has an Invader. Quite nippy.The trouble is it's purple and every copper on the island knows it's his.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!
