GLWTS Which ginnetta you thinking of buying? Had ago in a ginnetta g40 on track - lots of fun and great cars

[stigg10]

Yep I'd like a G40R after having a go in one. Like this one (not in black though - eurgh)

[fiveoclock]

A couple of G40 Ginettas raced in TT last season. Got to be said, they were unreliable and not on the pace. We knew a few people who raced in the G40 Challenge and there were big problems with the front brakes overheating and failing too.

Its not the parts its they way they're put together. I'm talking about race cars of course, on the road they may be fine. What went wrong? Brakes, engine misfires, electrical gremlins. Obviously not wanting to tempt fate but if you think VX clams are expensive you could be in for a shock if the worst should happen!!!!

[JG]

£14,750 at plans in fours years. Thats good going

 

I must say it looks great. If i was after a Turbo, i think i'd stop here.

Probably stopped Graham from going bankrupt!!!

[JG]

Graham wouldn't go bankrupt even if he had no customers

You might be surprised!!! Mind you £480 to supply and fit an alternator!! He knows how to invoice

[Tony H]

That colour!

Have to say I'm considering petrol for my NA, it does look great.

 

And as JG says, this looks like a lovely example of a Turbo, with all the right boxes ticked; low miles, HPI clear, desirable and tasteful extras, probably the right amount of power in terms of reliability etc. GLWTS mate.

[siztenboots]

Its a great VX and very rare example.

[Goosenka]

And another London vx goes Very best of luck. I agree with all that has been said. Looks fantastic.

[Tom220SC]

That is easily the best colour on a vx, very nice mate good look with the sale!

Hi Stigg 10,

                   Interested in looking at your car for possible purchase. I looked at a new one in 2006 but never made it. Useful to have your details for more direct contact if this is allowed.
