HRG Badge
A quintessential British sports car based at Tolworth in Surrey and founded in 1936 by Maj. Edward Halford, Guy Robins and Henry Ronald Godfrey (HRG),
Godfrey and Halford had raced together at Brooklands in 1935 and the company was formed with the addition of Guy Robins formerly of Trojan.
The cars are strongly influenced by Godfrey's former involvement with GN and later Frazer Nash. In 1935 the company unveiled the Singer OHC engined 1100, joined in 1939 by a Singer OHC engined 1500. Post war both cars continued to the same design and were joined by the unconventional looking Aerodynamic which shared the same vintage chassis. Guy Robins left the company in 1950 and the final car was built in 1956 after 241 cars had been built. The company continued as a profitable engineering company until closure in 1966.
