History/Why:

This vehicle was rescued from a barn by a couple of friends in 2016 after more than 15years of storage. With a view to keeping an English brand on the road and enjoying the rebuild process.

When the Ginetta was acquired it was showing 850 miles on the clock; since its restoration and first MOT in 2021 the vehicle has undergone running in period including a trip to Belgium Spa francorchamps for a camping weekend, Beaulieu Auto jumble and other local events.

The Ginetta now sporting its new shiny colour scheme is an eye catching head turner and great fun to drive, it has undergone extensive restoration to a high level with careful consideration to the usability of the vehicle in everyday life as detailed below.
