PH wont contact you on name and shame- the post will simply disappear. I had a long post pulled after I pointed out that a product that was being sold to the TVR world was technically very poor (I had done a technical full bench test for the product so it was not simply opinion, but fact) plus it was using ripped off software. I think the post got pulled after it was flagged as name and shame by a Guy who liked the product (it was very shiny aluminium after all smile) and did not like being contradicted on the forum no matter how much data I had to back my claims up. Pity as I could no longer warn people it was rubbish.....

Cable personally visited LNT last July so he knows all about the Group.
Tomlinson was hired along with Rekha Mehr (who sells Anglo Indian cakes and sweets yum) both as advisors and as 'voices for business' - at different ends of the scale obviously.

sorry to read about your troubles but sadly based on my contact with them it doesn't surprise me.

Is Ginetta making many G60's? I think this car has A LOT of upside.

What is the cost of the car? How would it compare to an old Noble?

Had a few G60's in when I was in the factory in Aug/Sept and again in Dec ago and they looked absolutely beautiful. So did the G40 and G40r.

I doubt things are going well. The first car sold was in March 2012 (Hubert's, correct me if I'm wrong), and then the first UK car sold was announced in July 2013, well over a year later, and that was to a couple who had been employed to develop it (according to Ginettas own web news "GINETTA G60 : ON THE ROAD WITH VICCI SCHULTZ & TONY HUGHES").

Sadly, when LNT bought Farbio he not only took apart the car but also the company, and team that designed and developed it ceased to exist. I hate to say it, but I think the purchase of the Juno operation will probably go the same way to be honest. Once he has the assets he needs from the company, the current Leyland base will likely be wound up and with it will go the jobs and all that hard work. If it happens it will be a tradegy, but Ginetta now seems to be a curious mix of asset stripper, vanity project and charity from what I can tell.

Went to the Ginetta website to peruse the G60 and it is now a orange G40.

I guess that means the fat lady has sung regarding the G60.

Too bad--I thought it had a lot of upside.

Must have been a technical issue (not saying who!).

Glad to see it alive and well.

Wish there was a way to get them over to the USA.

I actually enquired about a G60 a few days ago, and was told by the factory that they were no longer available.

That's interesting to know. There was a political type broadcast from the Ginetta factory a couple of weeks ago, you could clearly see some G60s in the background. Wasn't obvious as to whether they were new or customer cars i don't know.

I hope that isn't true.

The G60 has/had much potential.

More exciting than an Evora!
