Rare Rides: The 1972 Gilbern Invader, Obscure and Welsh

Rare Rides: The 1972 Gilbern Invader, Obscure and Welsh
Let’s check the company’s most successful model, the Invader.
Gilbern Sports Cars was founded in 1959, by former butcher
Giles Smith and German engineer
Bernard Friese. Friese was familiar with fiberglass construction and had previously built himself a car for fun. Said car was very handy because it became the basis for Gilbern’s new sports cars.
Gilberns were initially only available as kits, but at some point later the factory also churned out fully completed vehicles.Â The first kits out of their small Welsh factory were the GT, a 2+2 coupe on offer from 1959 to 1967. First powered by engines from BMC or Coventry Climax, the GT later moved on to MG engines. 280 GTs were produced.

Lotus to celebrate 10 birthdays in 2021

Lotus to celebrate 10 birthdays in 2021

Lotus birthdays 2021
Lotus is celebrating no fewer than 10 significant anniversaries in 2021. Norfolk-based party suppliers might need to stock up on birthday candles in readiness.
Lotus Engineering was conceived by Chapman and his wife Hazel in 1952. The Mark VI was the first true Lotus, with Chapman using his experience with Austin-based trials cars to create the first hint of what was to come.
The iconic Lotus Seven followed in 1957, with the Elan appearing in 1962. The latter is acknowledged as one of the finest sports cars of its era. It even inspired the original Mazda MX-5.

Lotus Elise Cup 250 vs Lotus Elise Series 1

A quarter of a century is a long time in the world of motoring, the past 25 years seeing more technological developments with a switch towards electrification. Just ask Lotus – it knows exactly how far the industry has moved on, given that it’s working furtively on development of its 1,973bhp, £2million-plus all-electric hypercar, the Evija. And – shock horror – an SUV.
But the manufacturer owes all that it is now to a car that’s celebrating its 25th birthday in 2020, a model that saved the British brand’s finances when it was close to extinction: the Elise.
Lotus has arguably – and successfully – navigated more troubled waters recently when it comes to its financial health and its custodians, but in the mid-nineties it still wasn’t exactly flush, so the arrival of a small, lightweight two-seat roadster that stayed true to founder Colin Chapman’s principles was just what the brand needed.
