Ginetta G31

[Steve w]

How much are they worth and are they sought after??I have just aquired one and am looking to sell it.

It's all relative - what condition is it? Mot? Taxed? No of owners, all the usual stuff.

If it's run of the mill (they were 80s kits) ie, not taxed, deteriorating, off road, outside and not garaged, then very little.

Currently, even very good condition used examples and with galvanised chassis you are talking only a few hundred.

The uninitiated should not mix up 'classic' 60s 70s Ginettas G4 G12 G15 G21 with the G26, G28, G30, G31 range... or even with 80s 90s G27 G32 G33 UNLESS you have in your possession a low mileage absolutely 'mint' example - and even then it will not be the ££s of any of the aforementioned, except perhaps a tired G27 or G32.

Thanks for that, it is a galvanised chassis model and is in pretty good condition except for a little bit of corrosion on the front corner of the doors.The engine is very nice and it drives really well.Worst bits are the 2 front seats but no biggy for someone to sort out.
Is there a Ginetta owners club ??

The unitiated might also not notice that the G33's have never dropped below 6.5k in one piece, and in good nick are 9-13k range. Hardly a few hundred quid !

Ugh!!?
Think you read my bit too quickly.

Where did I say a G33 could be got for a few hundred quid?

I actually said::

'...even then it will NOT be the ££s of ANY of the aforementioned...
EXCEPT perhaps a 'tired G27 or G32'

Fair enough, mis understood the price comparason.
