Great tourism in the Welsh region.

Born in the late 1950s in Wales, Gilbern is a rare and exciting brand. Founded by a butcher passionate about cars, Giles Smith, and a German engineer, Bernard Friese, the brand takes its name from the combination of their first names: Gil + Bern.

Gilbern immediately stood out with fiberglass bodies, elegant styling and high-performance engines borrowed from prestigious British brands. The GT, Genie and Invader models stand out: sporty, well built and exclusive, they appeal to fans of Grand Tourism on a human scale.

Today, the Gilbern have become highly sought-after collector’s cars, a valuable testament to Welsh craftsmanship and the British spirit of the sixties.

Rare and full of personality, the Gilbern deserve a careful and respectful restoration of their original design.

At Vintage Pare-Chocs, we offer bumpers adapted to Gilbern models, faithful to the elegant curves and finishes that make all the authenticity of these British sports cars.

Our mission: to preserve the exclusive charm of your Gilbern... and allow it to continue to stand out on the road as in its beginnings.
