Looks like a very young Willie Green to me, at a wild guess 1966, Snetterton, Autosport Cup.
That's too easy Geoff, it's Willie, but which Walklett's hand is on the door! ![biggrin](/inc/images/biggrin.gif)
God, that awful yuk pleated-like cheap black ambla material they used on the interior.
![hurl](/inc/images/hurl.gif)
Think it 'used' to be in the door pockets of my G15... not for long though, think it was replaced by some decent stuff within a week of ownership. I 'hated' that stuff.
That's better, always wanted to get that out of my system.

Still got the "stuff" from my G15 door pockets - carefully cleaned and stored to be glued back in - I love the look of it! LOL![hurl](/inc/images/hurl.gif)

G10 Ex Works Competition Car: Chassis No.001![](http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc133/h4887/G100021.jpg)
Geoff
As a former G10 owner and user in Britain for some three years in the late 1980’s I have read the submissions on the topic with some interest. There seems to be a dearth of factual data about ex works G10 competition car and G10’s in general.
I bought the car from Tony Thompson Racing at Shoby near Melton Mowbray and he told me that the previous owner was from the Worcester area. My car bore a brass plate stamped chassis number “001” and was road registered as EPP989B in the U.K. at the time I acquired it in 1986; although I do know it was formerly registered as 4ROD when it was in the possession of Mr Rod Leach, owner of Cobra specialist dealership “Nostalgia”. In its original 1960’s form it was a convertible; only later having the coupe hardtop grafted on. It earlier had bright red coachwork, although the car was refinished in Rolls Royce ‘Regal Red’ with a gold stripe before I acquired it.
My G10 was the car illustrated on the cover of the book “Ginetta, The Illustrated History” by John Rose that was first published by J.H.Haynes & Co.Ltd. in 1983 (ISBN 0 85429 384 1). That book contained a photograph of another G-10 Coupe with standard bodywork (plain wheel arches) and wire wheels and bearing U.K. registration number JGF295D. I heard rumour of a third G10 that was exported to Venzuela years ago. Never did I hear of more than a total of three (3) G10’s originally being built .
As 4ROD it was track tested by Hot Car Magazine (around 1980) and reported in an article entitled “Snake In The Glass”. A
In 1989 I sold my car on through Tony Thompson Racing and believe it was later exported to the U.S.A.

ah, indeed here is also a G10 cabrio v8 in the video, or is that the G11

this one seems to be modified to G10 V8 with the G11 basis?
