this G33 in Belgium seems pretty special with MX5 headlights, no pop up.

39k for such an untidy enginebay...with surface rust on chassis and the wishbones (and the non visible aereas of the chassis will even look worse)...and original rover iron-cast exhaust manifolds? 1995 reg-date and no catalytic converters?

left side exhaust-box shows green overspray

Don't mention no cats! Mine's 1995 and cat free from new : But I've never been stupid enough to ask anyone in officialdom why cop

My best guess is late cars didn't have crate engines, Ginetta got them from wherever would supply them/they could afford and if not exactly new they seemed to get away with it.

Mine however I have tidied up the engine bay and replaced the Rover manifolds and exhaust (not sure where that came from, I've heard VW rumours).





The S/S Manifold got a bit hot so I had it Ceramic Coated





and yes I "try" to look after the chassis
