1947 HRG 1500 Navigation
The HRG was named after its designer, Halford, Robins, and Godfrey, who designed it after leaving the Frazer-Nash Company when their factory closed. The car was intended to be a 'gentleman racer,' which could also be used for sporting and social outings. The car cost twice the amount of the MGs and one and a half times the cost of Aston-Martins of the time and regularly prevailed over both marques in trials and races in the 30s and 40s.
Of the 260 HRG cars built between 1937 and 1954, only 100 were built in this configuration. This car is from the ex-Ben Rose Collection and lived in the garage where the film 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' was filmed. It campaigned vigorously in vintage and historic races in the Midwest from 1970 to 1995. It is basically in its original unrestored condition, with a few cosmetic repairs and safety upgrades that are period correct.
