⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

Raw British engineering: pure mechanical adrenaline applied to the road.

Introduced in January 1998, the Ginetta G27 Series 4 was a classic British open-top sports car that paired iconic 1960s retro styling with modern engineering upgrades. Building upon this heritage, award-winning GKD Sports Cars later developed an evolution of the attractive original. In 2005, GKD purchased the vehicle's engineering designs, chassis jigs, drawings, and body moulds directly from Ginetta Cars. Following the acquisition, GKD spent several months extensively re-engineering the platform before formally launching the updated model as the GKD Evolution later that year.

The combination of a Dunnell-tuned Ford Zetec engine and a Ford Type 9 gearbox is one of the most highly regarded setups for the Ginetta G27 S4. Dunnell Engines is a legendary British tuning firm, universally famous in the kit car and clubman racing scenes for transforming standard Ford crate engines into high-performance powerplants. For this build, Dunnell provided specialised rear-wheel-drive conversion components, including a shortened, low-line wet sump - crucial for ground clearance in a low sports car like the G27 - along with a tailored cooling system.

A Dunnell Zetec in a G27 can reliably produce anywhere from 160 bhp to over 200 bhp. In a vehicle weighing roughly 700 kg, this delivers an incredible power-to-weight ratio.

Completed in 2019 and fitted with an engine dating from 2023, this professionally assembled G27 S4 is finished in blue, and offered as a light project for an enthusiast to recommission. Powered by a 1.8-litre Dunnell-optioned fuel-injected Zetec 16v engine, the car comes with a collection of receipts dating back to 2019. An ideal track-day candidate that remains road-legal, it is supplied with a current V5C logbook. The next owner will need to arrange for the vehicle to be trailered away.
