110 of only 197 made; restored in the early 1990s including rebuilt engine and only 9k miles since; overdrive gearbox; stainless steel exhaust; be different! Seen in the right light and from the right angle this car could be an exotic mid-‘60s Alfa re-worked by an Italian Carrozzeria.
In which case, it would be worth ten times as much.
But it’s not an Alfa, it was made in Wales, and our estimate is surprisingly low for what is an extremely rare car – only 197 Genies were made.
The styling is spot-on ‘60s sharp-suited Italianate, the wheels could pass for Cromodoras and the car has plenty of power on tap from its 3.0 Ford V6.
The Gilbern is almost forgotten nowadays and if you were to remove the Dragon badges who would know what you were driving or what it was worth? It even has a whiff of Maserati Mexico about it.
This 1969 Genie had a thorough restoration in the early 1990s, during which it received its new Giallo Forte paintwork (having previously been red).
