Heaven for a pistonhead

If you're interested in Ginetta, then this is the workshop/unit where the G60 was born, back then his parents called him Farboud GTS.



FYI.

In that last pic with the coach, you can see where I used to work just to the left. A great place to be with all the cars going in and out

This would be a very interesting place to tour - what's the method of arranging this?

Was the last meet/tour not an uber exclusive scd one? If one was organised for us common folks I would be interested.

Laurence Tomlinson (ginetta boss) spoke at a dinner and invited anyone there back to have a look, so I promptly turned up like a stalker, drooling with a camera/phone in my hand and basically looked like rain man throughout.

Will, Where did you take that Picture??

Indeed, Designed by Arash Farbourd.

Nice elements but not sure im too taken on the side vent.

Another of his design- the Arash AF10- also has some interesting design elements too...



Did someone say enzo??



I ask where you took is because there is a Farbourd GT in the picture, predecessor to the AF10.

I guess you visited the designer/owner/builder of the cars?

I've known Arash for 25 years we went to school together. We do LeMans/Weddings/Christmas etc together.
Those pictures are from his unit/fantasy car storage. He did indeed start off with the Farboud GT and Farboud GTS, he basically has a go at making cars because he loves doing it and he has the means.
I remenber the day he told me he was going to start a car manufacturing company, what a cool hobby!
