Ginetta Cars Limited was founded in 1958. The business was an extension of a passion for motor racing and as a result cars produced by the Company were predominantly race or road/race.
The G4 model was unveiled at the Racing Car Show in 1961 and is perhaps the most ‘famous’ model. The G4 was aimed squarely at the club racer who wanted a cost effective weekday road car and a weekend racer. In this it was aided by the new Ford engines which gave it the necessary performance to firstly beat the MGB’s and TR’s before taking on and winning against such exotica as the Jaguar 3.8’s. Such ability soon translated to an escalating tally of race successes at which point the mainstream motoring press took an interest firmly establishing the Ginetta marque on the motoring map.
Success with the G4 prompted ever more ambitious designs and further success with the Imp powered G15 and the Chrysler 1725 powered G21.
Both cars underwent full type approval testing and were available as kits or factory built cars.
In the eighties, Ginetta returned to the kit car market first with an updated G4 model now designated G27 and later with a range of sports saloons including the much loved V8 powered G33.
Today the Company is owned by Lawrence Tomlinson – experienced racing driver and successful businessman – Chairman of the LNT Group. Yet the aims remain much as they ever were – to continue producing innovative, capable and above all, affordable sports cars.
The company celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 2008 when it launched the Ginetta G50 in honour of the milestone. It was designed and manufactured alongside Ginetta’s other cars in the company’s new 80,000 square foot factory in Garforth on the outskirts of Leeds, West Yorkshire.
Supporting Ginetta’s brand are the very best resources and support available from office staff right through to driver management, all exercising expertise and the established LNT Group professional presentation.
In partnership with us, Ginetta Heritage now caters for all the previous Ginetta models.
