 Ginetta
G27R £4,950
This is an ex Race series car that was maintained at almost
no-expense spared.
Eligible for track days, Sprinting and Hillclimbing with the
Ginetta Owners Club or other national
series, or racing with the factory "Club
Ginetta" Series.
 We have been told by the company that ran the car for the
previous owner that it only did 2 further races after it had a new chassis
fitted. The appearance of the chassis certainly bears this out.
The car had been standing for sometime when we bought it. It has
now been cleaned up and the 1.8 Zetec engine on twin 45 DCOES sounds
great. We have driven the car around the yard and everything including the
brakes seem to work.
HOWEVER THE CAR NEEDS A FULL CHECK OVER BEFORE VENTURING OUT ONTO
THE TRACK!
 Things like the fire extinguisher, harness and hydraulic hand
brake lever need replacing. Broadly the specification of the car is as follows:
Wet sump Zetec race engine
Twin 45 DCOEs
Quaife LSD
Tranex (to be confirmed) Race gearbox, race clutch with spare
plates
Luminition ignition module with 2 spares
Aluminium radiator. PI dash. Adjustable brake bias with dash
gauge, aluminium fuel tank.
The biggest rear view mirror you have ever seen!
Adjustable shocks and suspension. spare set of wheels with
slicks. 2 spare dunlop race tyres.
It appears that the car has a full data logging system as part of
the PI dash system and there is a very complicated looking box with Lander Lap
Timer written on it that looks like it plugs into a lap top computer. There
seems to be a timing beacon too.
This car has enjoyed an exciting race career and had battle scars
to prove it. It would really benefit from some stress crack repairs and a
respray.

SOLD!
Ginetta G27R £SOLD
Road registered, MOT, taxed. Built in 1996 primarily for
competition use. Features a very special Zetec engine developed by the
Walkletts which has given 250 bhp
@ 8500 rpm. Now with smaller chokes it has
gained torque and gives 230 bhp. It has a Tranex Close ratio 5 speed gearbox,
English Ford, LSD with 5.1 ratio. Vented front discs, solid rear discs.
Weight
700 kg. Roll Bar and door bar, tonneau, hood and sidescreens. We have valeted
the car and given it a good
check over. The road test will follow. It is however already apparent that this is a very
high specification machine. It has been owned and developed by a most
experienced and accomplished driver -
John Lyon. who runs high
performance driving courses.
All the mechanicals show signs of being well
maintained by Peter Cook in Cambridgeshire. This is a huge amount of car for the
money as the engine cost far more than the asking price. It is however, not a concours car! It has stress cracks and the paint is not perfect as various parts
have been damaged and replaced during the colourful career of the car.
Times achieved in the car:
Shelsley Walsh 34.78
Goodwood 96.95
Prescot 50.62
Oulton Park 1.09.94
Brands hatch Indy 56.79
