Jeez, I would NOT have wanted to work in that environment!
Wonder how many of that workforce can still breathe unaided?
Have to say i like the revised line of the taped up headlights in this pic. Makes it look a bit more slick.
Bloody hell Hope this isn't too bad.

Phew! A 'cooling' problem??? Sure it's not a fuel problem!
Lawrence said the cars each had small issues easily addressable.
Hope so, as that looked quite dramatic.
Anyone going to Mallory this weekend? (sorry, half asleep, just seen the Mallory thread)
Also, anyone know if Ginettas are racing this year at the Goodwood Revival?

Not very good pics but you don't see one of these everyday
In fact, it's the only surviving 'genuine' original G11 Coupe, chassis 2.
Unless you know where NWA 56D chassis no 1 is?
I have spent years looking for it, as have others, but no luck.
Man that's a gorgeous car! Thanks for sharing the picture. In fact, it's the only surviving 'genuine' original G11 Coupe, chassis 2.

If I manage to do this correctly, here are a few pics of my G20. Reportedly on of 25 here in the U.S.A.

I've driven a RHD Swedish Gin 1 G34 Volvo Turbo and to be honest it felt horrible compared to a V8 G33. No torque and lots of turbo Lag? I also prefer the G33 looks with the G16 Windscreen, nicer dash board and pop up lights. I presume Ginetta wouldn't let them build the G33 so they had to modify the design which was probably hard to beat. This has happened with the G27 since its sale also and the new GKD car now has an ugly front end. The G34 wider track Volvo rear end set up meant it steered you towards the hedgerow every time you gave it some Pasty due to the Gin 1 flexible mounting of the half shafts. I found this very scary when the boost finally arrived on my test drive. Yes, the Chassis and suspension was far too rigid and I see the owner of this LHD car has completely modified it presumably to improve things a little. Not sure which twin cam he has put in but it looks like a Zetec or Cosworth that has replaced the original Volvo 940T engine.
The chap has done a great job on restoring this car and maybe we'll see more of it in later years.
I understand the new owner of the British G34 I drove has now modified the car in numerous ways and he also owns a modified NOS G33!
I hope we see it on the British Roads soon P?
