I was determined to purchase a new car this year, i was set on an R53 Mini cooper s to be used as a daily and for a step up from my current (first) car. However after thinking about it and insurance companies giving ridiculous quotes i forgot that plan. Anyway one evening i was having a look through a few internet sites and this Ginetta G20 came up and for some reason i wanted it. I did an insurance quote for limited mileage and it was looking even more hopeful so i arranged viewing. This confirmed my initial thoughts, so i put a deposit down on the car.
However it's taken a couple of weeks to finalise everything, but now i can't wait to pick the car up, as long as it's dry on the collection day!
It's a 2006 registered road going G20 which has covered just over 5,000 miles, it's only a 1.8 zetec but due to it weighing 660kg it should be good fun. I'm only 19 and my current car is a mk2 fiesta so it's a very different car, however i've managed to buy a car that has less than the fiesta
.
Sorry for all the boring text and the lack of photos. More to come when i collect the car.
Regards,
Matt

Thanks for the responses, feel very fortunate to be able to have the car. There is no roof option, Ginetta made a fixed roof version but that was in race form for the Ginetta junior championship. However i have seen pictures of a car that has been converted to road going spec.

I love these. One of my favourite kit cars, no doubt. I love those blobby, classic looks that remind me of old Lotus race cars as well as the classic Ginettas! I do think if they had made a hard top version in the style of the G4R they would have sold considerably more. Still, that's probably the most fun you can have on the roads without being on a motorbike.

Looks great mate! Like if a AC cobra and a MX5 had an illegitimate love child!!
Enjoy it mate, as said above, just be careful, it's a big step up from the Fiesta in every way! Although I don't envy you having no roof! Is this gonna be a daily driver?
Definitely not a daily use car Enjoy it mate, as said above, just be careful, it's a big step up from the Fiesta in every way! Although I don't envy you having no roof! Is this gonna be a daily driver?
