The Ginetta family goes back to the 1950's. The first car, the G2, was produced as a kit for enthusiasts and consisted of a tubular frame chassis to take Ford components and aluminium body. About 100 were made. The G3 was introduced with glass fibre body in 1959 to be followed by the G4 in 1961. The G4 used the new Ford 105E engine and had a glass fibre GT style body and the suspension was updated to coil springing at the front with Ford live axle at the rear. Where the G2 and G3 had been designed for competition the G4 was usable as an everyday car but still was very competitive in Motor Sport with numerous successes. Over 500 were made up to 1969 with a variety of Ford engines. In 1963 a coupe was introduced alongside the open car and a BMC axle replaced the Ford one at the rear. On test the car reached 120 mph with a 1500 cc engine.
Following reorganisation the company moved to Scunthorpe and started making cars in kit form in the 1980's starting with the G27, an update on the old G4, and the G26 and G31 using Ford parts. The company is now owned by international racing enthusiasts based in Sheffield where the G20 and G33 are made. |
