Spotted this nice G15 for sale on Car and Classic on Wednesday,
seller is open to sensible offers.

Looks nice example with chrome bumpers, except seats not orig.
Easy to bring up to standard I would have thought. Wish I had bit more room.

Been a few sold in the last year or so. Usually range from 2k for a basket case, average I would say is around 5-6k, up to superb examples like below in the 10k+ bracket.

£12k roughly. To command top prices imo the car must be as near to original as possible if a road car.
The Riley Elf/Wolsely Hornet chrome rear bumper and front split VW are now obtainable but not cheap, hence why many simply owners simply have them painted or remove them altogether.

For such a top price I would want original chrome bumpers, not painted ones - and interior shd at that price have original seats (again very difficult to find but can be reproduced at a price).
With the original seats fitted the G15 can 'easily' accommodate over 6 footers.

someone else is still trying to sell one in Italy for a crazy €29k
Wow! That is just crazy as you say.

At least they could have got the correct indicator (amber) lens glass. The interior is, well, grubby. I hate that triangulated material that Ginetta seemed to have had a joblot of. Was it ever used in the G15 like that? Not to my knowledge. Inside the door cubby holes, yes. But none here just paint, that's not right. Perhaps I'm being too much of a purist here, not that I can talk really when I look back to what I did with mine!

All this makes the 'green' G15 look like it could be a good buy. Just wish I had the space and I'd be driving it back home!

Interesting...

This one sounds nice, shame about the wheels though -

Concours?
Very nice, and looks immaculate but for a concours G15 it surely needs to be original.
The highback aftermarket 'seats' look like they are touching the headlining!
Plud it really needs the rear Elf/Hornet chrome bumper and Cosmic or Exacton alloys...

AND naturally the proper Imp rear lights!

What's that under the rear no. plate, another plate?

Then 2 come along at once. The yellow one probably going to sell, the other very doubtful!

(I like the 'body colour as original') biggrin

And look at the bolt heads (or lack on one) on the engine mount!


Bit worried about the thread title - will this one disappear like the 'DZ for Sale' thread?
