Your first one is John Digby's 1500 round tube, previously with David Mercer/Ian Bax/John Wilmshurst. The G16 is that of G and J Dodd, previously with Ted Williams. 27 is Mike Chittenden and 63 possibly Peter Trewren. ALF1E belonged to John Evans then Brian Lambert in the early 1970s. Not sure of the rest off the top of my head.

I think the no. 63 is Michael Sweeney unless he has sold it recently. My dad built it in 1966 with parts from his written off Cortina GT Although I doubt much of the original car exist. I'd love to make him an offer he couldn't refuse just for the sentimental value but I think that would be a lottery win.
It is lovely to see the photograph of the first Ginetta G 4 - photographed fairly close to Campsea Ashe, where the first G.4's were made. Suffolk is a lovely County - rather sad that so many thought it was " bow and arrow country " then, but possibly not now.
Part of the Ginetta G 4 history, is that it was made in Campsea Ashe, Suffolk - in Witham, Essex - in Sudbury ( Suffolk again ) - and in the famous town of S
horpe, in Lincolnshire - with a magical workforce in each area - which reflected so much credit on the very talented designers, and the very efficient workforce. Yes - it has reflected on the British Motor Industry too.
But - perhaps the most creditable thing about the G 4 - is that it is still being made ( not far from Witham, Essex ) in 2013 - with one of the original designers, in charge. Perhaps it doesn't reign supreme ( like Ford Motor Company ) but at least it is powered by one of their engines. Ginetta G 4 - you will live forever.

You forgot Mersea ' I think more G4 were made there than in its 50 year life span ( so far ) Part of the Ginetta G 4 history, is that it was made in Campsea Ashe, Suffolk - in Witham, Essex - in Sudbury ( Suffolk again ) - and in the famous town of S

I met Trever Ivor & Mark at Dare on mersea when I was looking '' hoping '' to buy one ' they were all very enthousiastic with all thing G4 - G12 & Dare '
why was it that you never got involved in Dare ?
