Oh, my ! That white one is a pretty wee car. How much do these go for ( & how often do the come up on the market ) ?

Bad news is that they NEVER come up on the market... :-)
There was one green for sale in UK (http://www.race-cars.com/search.cgi?V=02&dx=carsales&ask=g12) but the page is no more viewable, he was asking for £32,750...
It was built in 1999, neither by Ginetta or DARE, but it was road registered as a '70 car and had FIA HTP papers.
At that price you could consider having one newly made from DARE, but you should choose between FIA spec OR road registrable... :-)

There was another one orange on sale in USA on ebay some months ago, this one was built by DARE in the japanese rush period so I guess somewhere in between 1995 and 2005 (?)

The fact is that they are quite rare to find on the market, and for a good reason: why would anyone want to separate himself from such a beauty?

the green one is still for sale I believe, but went from something like 45K to 65K euro's so this one is now a bit euh, expensive...

Yes, it's the same car but this advert is a fake...
I recently contacted Bob Dimmack, the owner of this car, through the Race-Cars site for some info and he confirmed that the car was on sale in East Midlands and he didn't know about that belgian site. That G12 is the "Higgins car", there is a previous thread in the Ginetta forums on PH.

PS: I found the original advert, now it is in the SOLD section :-( http://www.race-cars.com/carsold/other/1303920322/...

Charming!

Any updates?

A larger G12 would be just what the doctor ordered.

I've asked in the past, but has anyone ever seen a picture of a G16 coupe?

Just wondering...

[GTRene]

no...

maybe a nice Chevron B8 will do...or the new GR8 ;-)
