Gill (automobile)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gill was an English car based on the Astra and built in Paddington, London from 1958 to 1960.
Like the Astra it featured a rear-mounted 322 cc engine mounted under the floor and all-round independent suspension with swing axles at the rear. Drive was to the rear wheels through a three speed gearbox.
It shared the front bodywork but from the windscreen back it was bodied as a coupé called the Getabout. A taxi version was also listed and some saloons might also have been made. At £500 the car was expensive.
