This car was displayed by H&H Classic Car Auctioneers in the paddock at Donington Park at the VSCC's SeeRed meeting in May 2011.
It's a 1947 HRG 1500 with what the DVLA say is a 1,496cc engine. The HRG 1500 was produced between 1938 and 1956, 112 cars in all, and it was initially powered by a 1½ litre Singer 12 hp SOHC 1,525cc engine. The last 12 examples of the HRG 1500 had the Singer SM 1,497cc engine, so as JM 7075 does not appear to have been one of those last few cars built the engine seems to have been changed at some point for one of the Singer SM units - if the DVLA record is correct. The HRG Association was formed in 1960 for the benefit of HRG Owners. At the H&H car auction in June 2011 this car, chassis W123, apparently sold for £49,500.
