Gerry
Hunt has collected the Ginetta G4 that
we built for him. It is a very close replica of the car he raced in the
1960s and we recreated the original series 3 bonnet and extended arches
from scratch. Gerry intends to hill climb and sprint the car next year.
Gordon
Robertson's Ginetta G21
got it's MOT after a chassis change!
It was nice to receive a Christmas card from Yuji
Shinohara. Spadge met Yuji when he visited Japan some years ago at his
Ginetta, Lotus and Caterham showrooms
Witham
Caras. Somewhere Spadge still has the "Witham Cars -
Lightweight Fetish" sweatshirt that Yuji gave him.
Have a good Christmas and no, that's not our Nick being
St Nick!

The red
Ginetta G21 is finished, the
Ginetta G4 of Gerry
Hunt should leave this week, Neil Russell's Griffith 400 will whiz to
Hexham shortly and Richie Quayle's
Ginetta G12 is
coming on well. |

The
absolute
oneoffness of the Alfa G15 and the ongoing work has made us
reluctant to fix a price for it ... but we've bit the bullet!

Like
a true enthusiast Rob Glenister doesn't really want to sell his Ginetta
G15 but kicking and spitting, swearing and biting he's put it back in
the
Free Ads.
The
Ginetta G33 has sold and we're
linking to
PNR Panel Supplies
because they're a helpful company and Paul Reece says nice things about
this web site! |

We are
currently restoring a
Ginetta G4 for
Steve Greensword,
a
most knowledgeable Ginetta aficionado of very long standing. Not
content with a genuine G4 he recently bought from former Ginetta MD Bob Walklett a lovely
Ginetta G2, seen here next to
Trevor Pyman's beautifully restored example. We have been very
taken by the G2's racy appearance and
shiver with antic...ipation at
the possibility of restoring it ...
... and oh yes, the yellow
Ginetta G32 has sold. |

In the
Free Ads a price drop on the V8
Ginetta
G27, a newly added Caterham
Superlight R300, and remember the confusion over
Spadge's class win at
Snetterton? Well, the trophy was presented to Spadge recently. |

1st July 2005 Spadge
couldn't make it to the
Hacheston Bygones
Sunday because he was in France delivering the
Elva.
Best in show was the
Morgan but NaTCH
spotted
this 1961
Elva Courier MkII which lives a few
villages over from us, expect a feature about it on here soon.

The Elva
went to Snetterton last week for testing and after a redesign of the
cooling system went very well indeed. The dashboard features
possibly the world's largest oil warning light ... yes it does look like
a MGA indicator doesn't it? |

you might expect Gerry Marshall's
funeral was quite an occasion.
Scottish Sprinting have a new
web site and the
Ginetta G32
convertible has sold. |

 outside the White Lion. |

April 2005 Scottish domiciled
David and Nina Baker
were the first to sign up for Spadge's newsletter last night and soon
the list had grown to five. Would you care
to join their
happy band? |

Dennis Featherstone was over in his
Ginetta G10 the other day. We
spent the day working on his bump-steer using our gauges, raising the
rack on custom made spacers and resetting the tracking. Dennis
says it has transformed the beast ... and it is a beast with 302 cubic
inches of immaculately prepared V8 under that immaculate bonnet. |

Gerry Hunt successfully raced a couple of
G4s overseas in
and is featured in Trevor
Pyman's book. We are currently building a
replica of his second car for Gerry. The new car is constructed around
an original Ginetta square tube chassis. Gerry's G4 had flared
arches, a series 3 bonnet and a later style
hard
top; all hard to replicate in 2005 but Mark Walklett lent us a hard top
to take a mould from, we have an original but
rather tired series 3 bonnet and Nick has worked his magic with the
flares.
Apologies for the silence recently. The rumour that
it's because Spadge has been fitting french windows and a veranda to his
new race car transporter is not true. The rumour that he's using
it to take three cars to Italy is true. |

Spadge pointing out a cunning customer mod on a
G15
bonnet designed to spray hot road dirt over the windscreen.
The race car transporter that Spadge was bringing
back to the UK broke down in France ... oh how he laughed ... but he did
get to see on the hotel telly dah dah dah duhduhduhdu duhduhduhdu A Man and A Women. |
