Ginetta G32

Not a kitcar, I know, but more of interest to you lot here!!
I passed by a G32 I know of today and I couldn't help thinking what a nice little car it is.
I can only assume it was a victim of cheaper mainstream cars.....

Here's a montage I found on the net. This is actually the same colour as the one I saw today.

Nice car in it's day but when competing against the MR2 and MX5 there was only ever going to be one outcome.

No, John, this one is a kind of Burgundy colour.

There was a real minter for sale about a year ago up in Scotland, only wanted about 2 and a half grand for it, really wish I had bought it now, would have been a lot of fun for not a lot of money !!

I thought about buying one of these a while back.

Great looking car - particularly in the flesh.

The criticisms at the time seemed to be a rather sudden breakaway and slightly underwhelming straight line performance from the naturally aspirated cars. IIRC it was built to comply with production car crash regulations and the tub is quite substantial as a result, so the standard CVH out of the XR2 didn't make it a road burner.
