I have recently purchased a 1972 Ginetta G15 from Doug Franklin of Telluride, Colorado, USA.  Mr Franklin purchased the car from Adrian Bone of the UK in November of 1988.  At that time the car was shipped from the UK to New Jersey, USA where Mr. Franklin lived at the time.  The car was built/owned by George Ritchie of Scotland prior to Mr. Bone.  The chassis # is G15-0346.  The car was the 1983 Scottish Hillclimb Championship car.  The car is pictured in the Ginetta G15 Super profile.  Mr Franklin raced the car in Autocross races for a very short time before blowing up the motor.  Mr. Franklin disassembled the car at that time and it sat until I purchased it.

I have inventoried the parts and am in need of some missing bits.  Do you know if there are any stock seats or seat frames available?  I have purchased a race motor built by Alan Peterson of Seattle, WA USA.  It is an R21 cam motor with dual DCOE carbs but I do not have a header/intake.  Mr Ritchie had the car set up with SPAX shocks.  Are any of these available?

Dave Randall has sent us another vid to edit, a make you gasp stormer start, lots of gob smackers and a stinger end.  What is terrifyingly magnificent about Dave is his 1500cc Ginetta G4 isn't that powerful ... he just waits longer than everybody else before braking.  This is Dave at Cadwell Park 2006 dealing with a spinning Lotus ... twice.

The factory G10 just got a new MOT as we prepare it for Tour Britannia in September.

A G4 nears completion in the workshop, Norman's Cosworth G21 will be here for work soon, as will Zane's G15 just as soon as we can get over to pick it up.

The G12 is sold. Dave and Nina's G21 is on the free ads and we can get the car down here in the next few weeks if required.

The G20 GTC is finished. All steel dry-sump Zetec engine, 240 bhp. Quaife close ratio gearbox. LSD.  Various sets of wheels and tyres. Stack rev counter. Superlight body. Seat and belts in date.  All new shocks, rose joints; this is a fully rebuilt, newly-painted and set up car ready for testing.  Eligible for the Ginetta Challenge, GOC Speed Championship, a whole host of other series and of course, track days too.

There's a lot of chat about it on the bulletin board and we have lots of pictures to send you.

The G12 we have in stock has come on rather well recently. Suspension is on.

Rob Knox's G15 is for sale at £8,000.  It's a cracker ... we supplied a lot of panels and parts to a previous owner.

The boys' G4/4 is back from paint and a change of plans means that it may be for sale when it is finished.

The G20 GTC is at the paint shop. It is up and running.

A panel of experts from the Ginetta Owners' Club were recently spotted at the Ginetta factory, where Lawrence kindly hosted their AGM, redesigning the G50.

There's a very interesting G4/4 with an MOT on ebaY.  Owned by a charming chap called Terry, we will certainly be bidding it past the reserve as it would benefit from a makeover like we've done on our one.

Dave Randall has been doing his stuff again in the G4 on The Silverstone GP circuit.  See the motorsport section.

The Stealth Transit was out and about this week.  A lovely G15 has returned to us after 7 years for sale again.  The Ginetta G27R is up and running and ready to race.

Testing went well on Friday and Paul did the business on Saturday! Our friend with a novice cross, at a circuit he'd never seen, in a car he'd never driven, in the first race since his major off last year, qualified 8th out of 20 and finished the CSCC race at a sunny Snetterton 6th!  Well done matey!

Work on the G20 continues - we're still after a Sierra LSD

The Turbo G32 has been back on the road.  Vince Hawtree has started a G32 site.

We have 2 spare tickets for anyone who wants to drive their nice, road-going classic Ginetta to the Ginetta Cars Media Day at Silverstone on Monday March 15th.  It should be quite a day with some excellent hospitality.

A Budget level G15 competition car project has popped up on the G15 section. We need the space so unless sold soon, we will be putting this rare opportunity on ebaY!

Talking of which, we have a G27R LSD and shafts, Imp Sport engine and transaxle on there at the moment.

There is an unmolested G15 here, for sale.

That interesting G4/4 or G27 in the USA didn't sell at $29,000!

There's some news in the motorsport section.

The G10 is being collected on Monday for some cage fabrication.

While our lightweight round tube G4 comes together, we are rebuilding the G27R into a G20 GTC which should be a somewhat quicker and less-expensive process.

Where did January go?!  We spent some happy times at the Autosport Show where the lovely G40 was unveiled

The G10 body is looking good and there are some pictures on the bulletin board.  The G32 Turbo is running and nearly ready for the MOT. We have bought a G20 junior to build into a racer a la G20 GTC and we are working on the G27 race car also.

We are interested in buying G27 body panels, particularly light weight ones and we are gearing up to be able to support all the various models that were produced by Ginetta cars. To that end, our G4 style bonnet for the G4/4 and G27 will shortly be available.

One G4 is off to the paint shop. We have a special offer on a G12 body/chassis - and we have a round tube G4 chassis in stock.

There is an update on the motorsport page.

Happy New Year  Snow has delayed the return of several  finished cars since the break. And even worse, we've sold our blue race G4 just when we'd got it all sorted. The proud new owner is an old friend with a bad neck!

Work has started on that special G32
