HRG Engineering Company, commonly known as HRG, was a British sports car manufacturer founded in 1936 by Major Edward Halford, Guy Robins, and Henry Ronald Godfrey. The company quickly gained a reputation for producing lightweight, reliable, and competitive sports cars that excelled in motorsport events. HRG cars were particularly known for their robust construction, using straightforward yet effective engineering principles that emphasized performance and handling. Notable models included the HRG 1100 and 1500, which featured responsive engines and nimble chassis, making them favorites among amateur racers and enthusiasts. Despite their limited production numbers, HRG cars achieved considerable success in events such as the Le Mans 24 Hours and the Alpine Rally. The company ceased production in 1956, but the legacy of HRG lives on through the enduring admiration of classic car collectors and the continued participation of HRG vehicles in historic racing events.
