ha ha - I remember the panel damage from your "coaxin"

A couple of great races though - Lydden really suits the G4/G12 Ginetta's.

So it's you in the G12?
Now I clearly see the reason of the bump in the top of your G12...

[GTRene]

very nice racy G12 that is
that you can fit in such low car!

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!

God, that awful yuk pleated-like cheap black ambla material they used on the interior.

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.

Doug's? The car behind is Gerry Marshall's TVR Griffith, the one on Willie's right is the Willment Cobra Coupe driven by Brian Muir, and on his left is John Miles at the wheel of an Elan.

[geeeman]

i see the Griffith... i dont see the others!

I believe Willie came 2nd overall to the Cobra in this race..?

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

Here's the real G10 at Silverstone

G10 Ex Works Competition Car: Chassis No.001
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.

Good info, fantastic car me thinks, must have bin a animal those days.
so those G10 cars were from origin roadsters were later rebuild into coupe?

[h4887]

Roger's was originally a roadster, the second owner whose name escapes me had the hard top fitted by the Walkletts. The only other G10 was built as a coupe.

[GTRene]

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?






here they say the coupe 4 and the cabrio 2?
