I'm assuming the P38 didn't make it to the photoshoot.

Anyone got a pic with an Elan next to a 1st gen MX5?

Really? Which one do you have in mind? I've never seen anything Jensen made as small as that but I'm happy to learn.

It is rather small, isn't it.

Maybe The Mini has been taking steroids.

Yes, never heard of them before now.

[MarshPhantom]

Not much info online, on the only pic I can find the car has possibly the worst windscreen I've ever seen.

Look at front tyre too.



Looks like it's off a bike.

Pulled this pic of my Jeep from a friend on FB. Top female comment was "it looks like the little green car from the film Cars"

He he.
One problem.

That is not a Ginetta G3.

The base shell was indeed made by Ginetta founders the Walklett Brothers, but it was simply a body marketed for the home builder to find (usually) a Ford chassis to put the shell on, its name was the 'Fairlite'.

So, whoever put that together didn't really know what they were doing! However, rare as hen's teeth.

Here is an advert for it. 49 quid!
