Ginetta History:
Ginetta Cars Limited was formed by four Walklett brothers in 1958 having had a lot of interest in motor racing. Sequentially, the company produced predominantly race or road/race cars. Ginetta, have gone on to achieve great things; Marcos, TVR and especially Lotus. The early models were very much specials, creating rudimentary chassis’s for standard Ford mechanical components which, whilst performing rather better in a Ginetta frame than a Ford chassis, still lacked that certain something that instantly attracts sports car enthusiasts to the right machinery. For Ginetta this happy reaction occurred instantly in the wake of their G4 model which was unveiled at the Racing Car Show in 1961. Whilst the G2 and G3 models had been aimed at the enthusiast who wished to build his or her own car to achieve economical and enjoyable transport, the G4 was aimed squarely at the club racer who wanted a cost effective weekday road car and a weekend racer. Success with the G4 prompted designer Ivor Walklett to ever more ambitious designs and further success with the Imp powered G15 and the Chrysler 1725 powered G21 amply demonstrated that the G4 was no fluke. Both cars underwent full type approval testing and were available as kits or factory built cars. As well as road going sports cars, the Company produced single seaters. The G8 and G9 formula 3 cars were great designs but manufacturing difficulties led to the projects being shelved. In the eighties, Ginetta returned to the kit car market first with an updated G4 model now designated G27 for which enthusiasm had never waned and later with a range of sports saloons designated G26 to G31 using Ford Cortina and Sierra components utilizing both 4-cylinder and V6 engines. Three of the founding Walklett brothers retired in 1989 while Ivor remained until 1992. Today the Company is owned by Lawrence Tomlinson.
