I wonder how many other cars or car model specifically intended for LM never made it? Certainly the Morgan SLR is another. It's also been written in the Gilbern mag recently that in the 60s an owner had an idea to race one there. He got as far as visiting the circuit with it during testing, but after that the idea went no further...... What could have been!

Nothing to do with the subject but a character from Kent turned up at Arras Classic Show a couple of years ago with a Gilbern prototype. I gather it was unfinished at the time the factory went down & that the current owner eventually acquired it & completed the build. It's not unlike a Piper to look at.
