Come on guys, don't derail a great thread with pettiness.
I've followed this pretty much from the day it was posted, and the thread has always remained quite civil.
I hope we can keep it this way.
I'm not a mod by the way - just a very interested follower of the thread.

I think that's what they meant to say.

GT6 ?
Spot on!! For years (I'm searching along with some others - some have given up - for a very rare Ginetta) we thought GI6 in that old 'owner's cars' snippet in Practical Motorist meant a Ginetta (but the G16 never had a hardtop, it was an open top racer).
The Registrar of the Ginetta club twigged the answer only this week that it must have been a typo and that it was meant to be (Triumph) GT6 - the chances of any rare Ginetta having crashed and having its hardtop used on an Ashley had to be remote. But panic for us searchers set in back then in the 80s and it overruled our sensible thinking, and still did up until this week
Also, it's been established now that a Richard (Dick?) Voss had a Ginetta G15 in the 80s too. Perhaps he still has?
So, the search for the missing Ginetta carries on.
If you think you can find it, all I can say is I/we've spent over 35 yrs looking for it!
Some rare forgotten models do appear, a yellow G15 posted on here recently which had been stored in the owner's garage for many years turned out to be a car missing on the Club's listings too.
The road going left hand drive Ginetta G10 exported to the USA in the 60s went off the radar for many years and turned up in recent times too, still in the USA.

Interesting find
It's just what he posted on here a couple of days ago and then deleted becaise of a really weird face-pulling contest he's in with somebody else.It became apparent a long time ago that nobody knows the answer; yet somebody is spending far too much time creating 3D renders which won't suddenly reveal the solution, and they keep getting into spats because other people say their ficton is wrong.
