Gilbern Sports Cars Ltd was founded by Giles Smith and Bernard Friese (hence GILBERN) in Wales between 1959 and 1973 starting with the Gilbern GT and later producing 4 different models (plus an estate car) up until it ceased trading in 1973. The GT is included here as it was offered in component form for £948 to avoid Purchase Tax. Production of the GT ceased in 1966.
