The British company HRG (Halford/Robins/Godfrey) started to produce hand-built cars in 1936, as a sort of competitor to the similar styled Aston Martins. The cars had a 1500 cc Meadows engine, but in 1939 an OHC Singer engine was used. Power output was about 62 BHP, and top-speed about 140 kph. It was famous for its use as a trial car.
After the war production continued, but commercially they were not very successful, resulting the company to fold down in 1956, after having delivered 222 cars in all.
Of the 1500 138 were produced, 26 before the war and the remainder after the war.
Shown is a late example which has a different body style, with closed fenders and a full windshield. It was present at the 2004 Technoclassica in Essen
