More than one G10 was built... Chris Meek raced the first when he slaughtered the field at Brands, including one of the low drag E-types. Some have converted G11s but on the same hand my genuine G11 chassis No 2 was built by the Walkletts using a G10 chassis!! Specialists manufacturers are not fussy, if it's there, they use it!
It is unsure just how many 10s were built. The launch G10 at the 65 Racing Car Show was a convertible, the Meek G10 was a convertible, the same car? I've heard stories that they were not. The l/h drive D reg coupe G10 bought by the Yank and tested by Triple C - is this the same G10 that ended in Venezuela, and other stories abound still. How many survive? One, possibly two - who knows? Where is the missing G11 coupe? All these years ...
Sorry!!! I feel like I am the only one who thinks the GOC is going down hill and run by a couple of guys who don't have all the owners in their portfolio so to speak. They ask you for contributions but don't use them if it does not fit in with their objective what ever this is...Some mouthy G20 owner or his friend will now tell me I am wrong!!!
Hi Winner - last May I drove the G10 from London to Jerusalem via 13 different countries. During this 3 week trip, I had Damon Hill in the car,
I did 8 laps of the Hungaroring against Lambos, Maseratis, Porsches, Jaguars etc and crossed the line second, got pulled over in 9 countries for the police to "examine" the car, had double page spread articles printed in car magazines in 3 countries and raised (with my fellow participants - there were 28 cars in all) over £620,000 for charity. Mark and Ivor Walklett had helped me prior to the trip with advice and information - yet I couldn't interest the GOC. Hey ho!!!
