A few memories from a day at the factory in July 2012
I remember going to look at that G4 when it was for sale. Sadly, was not what I was looking for at the time. Car ended up at Spadge's if I remember rightly?
I have pics somewhere when I went to look at it in Swindon area. See if I can find them.

TG Sport. Not many of those about. Would certainly make a nice 'different' summer car. Bit like a sophisticated 7.

Honestly can't ever remember seeing one for sale ...ever!
I like yellow, but not that. Prefer TG in white, or this (think this one is in the US ?).

Here it is, was back in 2009 (where does the time go?) outside Swindon Mazda dealer near M4. 
Really illustrates how small a G4 is (next to my first JCW back then)



Same year (or bit later), next to Dave Baker's old G4 at Silverstone.


There's a thought... if it would fit, put a Mini N18 210bhp 1.6 turbo engine/box in a G4! wink

So is Dare no longer producing cars? It seems a shame if they aren't. I'd love a G4!

They are! Give them a call if you want a G4!
Don't be misguided by the absence of updates on their website.

Does anyone know the current status of G12 production ?

There was a feature on PHs a few years ago about an 'updated' version, road legal, using Ford Ecoboost engines.
There was also a few pictures on this forum of a standard looking G12 (met grey, with updated rear lights) which was meant to be Ecoboost powered.

But theres nothing on the Dare web site about it.
I have telephone called the factory a few times, but it never gets answered & theres no messaging option.
I've Emailed too, but again no reply.

Is it time for an intrepid PH reporter to pay a visit to Dare and fill us in on what is new and exciting?

It would be nice to hear about the projects they are working on--I was always curious about the G12 project that would fit us 6 footers.
