The Gilbern Invader was a small sports car built in Llantwit Fardre, Pontypridd, Glamorgan, Wales. It is one of the few cars ever engineered and built in the country that brought us the equals sign, tennis and Catherine Zeta-Jones. By 1972 the Invader (actually the descendant of something called the GT, then the Genie) was in its 4th year of production and 3rd revision...perhaps we've stumbled onto the reason that Gilbern is not manufacturing cars anymore.

You would be forgiven for not being familiar with today's feature car, as it hails from Wales, a country better known for its ancient Celtic language and not exactly a hotbed of automobile manufacturing. The Gilbern car company was founded in the late 50s by two men, one a German ex-POW and engineering who remained in Britain after the war and the other a Welsh butcher who wanted to build cars. This unlikely duo succeeded in producing a few cars and achieving a dream where countless others have failed.
