A rare post-war roadster produced by the lesser-known British manufacturer, HRG Engineering Company. Power comes from the OHC 1,500cc Singer inline-four, delivering around 12hp through a four-speed manual gearbox. Of the 241 cars built by HRG between 1935 and 1956, 111 were 1500s. The car was refurbished between 2020 and 2021, which included a full respray, and reupholstery of the seats and carpets. It is said to have spent most of its life in Uruguay, and was imported into Australia around one year ago. The odometer shows 22,381 km, though this is not warranted. The Reall coachwork of this HRG is finished in red, complemented by a cream soft-top roof and chrome body trims. It rides on black 15-inch wire wheels with silver two-eared knock-offs, wrapped in F.U.N.S.A Flex tyres. A spare wheel is mounted to the rear end with a brown leather strap. The beige vinyl cabin features a four-spoke steering wheel and a turned aluminium dashboard panel. Accompanying the vehicle will be its Australian import permit, and a collection of invoices for mechanical work completed over the last five years. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: paint peeling on the bonnet hinges; one chip on the passenger door; some rips and discolouration in the canvas roof; the central headlight is disconnected; the handbrake is inoperative. In July 2024 at an indicated 22,360 km, Illawarra's Automotive Specialists reconditioned the head and water pump, changed the cambelt, and rebuilt the carburettors. A full service was completed in 2021. This HRG 1500 Roadster is a rare post-war roadster produced by the lesser-known British manufacturer, which has benefited from a cosmetic refurbishment in 2020, and a more recent reconditioning of the head, water pump, and carburettors. One of only 111 1500s ever built by HRG, it would make a fine addition to a collection of post-war classics, and a head-turning car show companion. The description of this consignment is, to the best of the seller’s knowledge, accurate and not misleading. Collecting Cars requests a range of detail about the lot from the seller and performs a level of due diligence. However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description. Potential buyers should view or arrange inspections as well as conduct any research they feel is necessary before committing to bid or buy. Please note that it is not uncommon for classic or collectible vehicles to have received cosmetic repairs in the past, either to rectify damage or refresh appearance, and this work may be undetectable even upon visual inspection. Unless there is an explicit statement by the seller to the contrary, please assume that any vehicle could have had bodywork or paintwork during its life. Furthermore, photographs may not reflect the true colour or full condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to satisfy themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy. This includes by raising enquiries with the seller in the comments section. For vehicles, unless otherwise stated, potential buyers should also assume that any cherished registration may be retained by the seller. Please see our Terms and Conditions for full details.
