SUMMARY

Smart, DARE-built, G4 Convertible equally happy on road or track

DESCRIPTION

  • The G4 offered here is DARE-built and a comparatively rare convertible
  • Effectively a competition car but equally at home on the road. Hard and soft tops
  • 'Clamshell' bodywork and Silver/Mallard Green paintwork in very good condition
  • 2-litre Zetec on throttle bodies producing 225bhp. Type 9, 5-speed, semi-helical, close-ratio box
  • Bespoke Brembo/DARE front four-pot callipers. Brake bias adjuster. Uprated adjustable dampers
  • A well-prepared, fast road/race Ginetta that would be competitive in a number of championships

Ginetta began in Suffolk in the 1950s when a young Ivor Walklett joined his three older brothers to work in the family's agricultural and structural engineering business and it wasn't long before his enthusiasm for cars led him to create a special based on a pre-war Wolseley Hornet. The Walklett's car-making business became known as Ginetta, and that first, corner of the barn special, subsequently became known as the G1. A few years later, Ginetta really hit their stride with the G4, which became available as a kit at the beginning of the 1960s. Intended to be both a bare-bones road-going sports car and competitive racer, the G4 featured a tube-frame chassis with double wishbones, coil springs and dampers up front along with a live axle with upper trailing arms, coil springs and dampers at the rear. The old adage
