Did anyone else spot what looked like a shot of the rear 3/4 of a wild green Ginetta G12 on the last Top Gear?

I think I noticed a G27 too. I remember on a previous episode they gathered a similar collection of British sportscars, and the very same G27 was there. Nice to get some recognition from the media *cough*autocar*cough* biggrin

I noticed the G33 and the G27. Shame the commentry was about British Sports car businesses that have gone bust!

My mistake.

I saw the other thread on the G33 sold off and they looked the same. I'm more familiar with the G4 and g12.

It's pretty exciting though. I love that green color. The Marcos looked excellent as well.

All cars are very well known in the owners club, with the G12 being recently built from some ex racers car moulds I believe.

No, but the orange G15 was so obvious you could even read it's reg. (which I noted but forgot!)

The worst bit was the 3 heapsbiggrin they had in the hangar, and the non mention of the Ginettas of which there were more than any other marque (i think?)

ok, in the last shot as camera is panning up and then fades to dark, there are 3 cars seen L side of screen. one of them is a blue G4 with roundels, i suspect 25URO?

Yup top gear all over. Don't want to grumble, but last time I looked Ginetta were still in business?!

Do love that particular shade of green.

perhaps my eyesight cool isn't what it used to be, but that G4 looks silver not pale blue to me?
But it does appear to have door roundels so I'm probably need to go to Specsavers again (in fact, my appointment is due!!).

sad thing is that no one would ever have noticed the G4..

Had a look blown up on a TV and it does look pale blue now.

Pity they didn't use a G4 on their journey (not that Clarkson or Mays could fit in one, but Hamster could! - and I bet he would have loved it).
