Saw the new Chevron piccies in Motorsport and was wondering which can would be the better racer and whether you thought the price of the new Chevron as a bit steep for 2.0 litre Duratec engined sports car...

I enquired into the costs of a Chevron B8 and was astounded at the costs Approx £ 80k.

Not strictly true, and it's all relative to how many peanuts I have in my pocket.

By the way, all way's is always, 'tis not 2 words (and requires no apostrophe). And to dear should be too dear.

So watch out, I might just start complaining about spelling and grammar too! hehe

Isn't the GR8 priced at 49,500 British Pounds?

looks good!
I think its more of a rival to the G50 that G16.
The GR8 is not gonna be road legal is it? i think they are having a one-make race series like the G50 one...
The G16 (with modern engine) would only really be eligible for small race series like SRGT in the UK, but bonus is it could potentially be road-legal..

As someone who enjoys all things Ginetta, I hope the GR8 finds it way on to the road. There is always room in the big tent for cars like the GR8.

The acquisition of Farbio will help Ginetta as well.

Anything new to report regarding the Chevron?

Has it raced yet? I'm here in the USA...

Why wasn't the G16 included in the EVO Track Day Test? I guess you could have included a G40, but I'm smitten with the G16...

I'm happy for the GR8, but feel EVO has some kind of issue with Ginetta whether G4/12, G40/50, etc.

Just wondering if there was ever a G16 coupe made by Ginetta and what it looks like.

Looks like the Chevron is no longer being made.

No there wasn't, although someone else put a gullwing hardtop on one.
