H.R.G. 1.5-LITRE SPORTS
H.R.G. Sports cars are among the most consistently successful entrants in home and international motoring events and have collected an impressive series of awards in recent years.
Two models are produced, with almost identical bodywork, but varying in engine size. The car illustrated here is the '1500' sports two-seater, which has accommodation for an additional emergency passenger, if required. It has complete all-weather equipment and provision is made on the engine for a water-heated foot-warmer for cold weather motoring.
The smaller '1100' model has an engine of 1,074 c.c. capacity, but will be more readily recognised by its somewhat shorter bonnet. In almost all other features the specification is similar to that of the '1500'.
