Event Details
May 2024: Colin Stacey’s Gilbern GT 1800
May Members’ Gathering, 14 May 2024
Come along to our Members Gathering on Tuesday 14 May at the Strathfield Golf Club to hear from Colin Stacey, who is completing the restoration of a Gilbern GT 1800 that he plans to bring to club events.
Married with two children, Colin migrated with family to Australia 40 years ago. Colin’s interests are family, classic cars, antiques, mechanical watches, eating and drinking. Until retirement he was Export Manager for Rheem/Solahart, travelling mainly to the Gulf, China, Korea, India and ASEAN countries.
Colin has maintained his interest in classic cars throughout his life, importing two to Australia – an Alvis TD 21 and the Gilbern GT 1800, the latter of which was featured in Opposite Lock at the time.
Colin plans to bring the Gilbern GT 1800, which he shares with his son Clive, to club events, having nearly completed its restoration. The Gilbern is closely related to MG cars, equipped with an MGB engine, which is mated to a Moss gearbox. Its running gear is nearly pure MGB, save the rear suspension which is live axle, trailing arms, Panhard rod, coils and dampers.
Colin expressed his appreciation at the warm welcome to the club together with the interest shown in his nearly completed Gilbern GT 1800, and we look forward to hearing more from him on Tuesday 14th, and seeing him, Clive and the Gilbern out and about.
The presentation will begin at 7:15, but why not come along early to catch up with friends over dinner. We’re looking forward to seeing you there.
Members’ Gatherings
Monthly Gatherings are open to all members and visitors. They are held on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:15pm at Strathfield Golf Club in Strathfield NSW.
At these gatherings you’ll be able to catch up with the latest happenings in the Club as well as enjoy a social evening with other members – we’ll usually see upwards of 100 members at a gathering. A guest speaker is often invited to present a topic of interest.
Arrive early, enjoy a delicious meal at discounted MG Car Club Sydney rates, have a drink or a cappuccino at the bar and meet up with old (and young) mates.
We also take this opportunity to offer our quality regalia products for sale, and provide access to the Club’s library of books and videos.
