About this Vehicle

The HRG motor car, built between 1935 and 1956 by the small British firm HRG Engineering Company, is a lightweight sports car renowned for its simplicity, agility, and character. Named after its founders—Halford, Robins, and Godfrey— the marque produced fewer than 250 cars, making each example rare and highly prized today. HRGs were typically fitted with 1.1 to 1.5-litre engines sourced from Singer or other suppliers, delivering modest power but exceptional handling thanks to their low weight and well-balanced chassis. With cycle wings, long bonnets, and minimal bodywork, they embodied the quintessential pre-war sports car aesthetic. On the road and track, HRGs earned a reputation for reliability and spirited performance, competing at prestigious events like Goodwood, Le Mans and the Alpine Rally. Today, the HRG is celebrated as a pure and unpretentious driver’s car, treasured by enthusiasts for its vintage charm and motorsport pedigree.
