Later, wide rear end - nice!SOLDDare 2004 Silver G4 coupe. £15,250 SOLDStandard wheel base in Metallic Silver with burgundy interior and chrome dials and factory immobiliser. 1800cc with 150bhp and Weber Alpha fuel injection and four branch side exit exhaust. Standard cockpit version. Full harness seat belts, wide bodied model and the current owner was told by Mark Walklett that this is the last standard wheel base cars to be built. We have heard that this may not now be the case, but it's certainly one of the last ones and has only covered approximately 2,000 miles from new.

We don't need much excuse to run about in this one!SOLDThis beautiful G4 will come with a new MOT. It is an amazing road going car that can be used daily, on track daysand also for hill-climbing and sprinting. We have just taxed it and have been checking it out by using it on the road at every available opportunity.SOLD

A fantastic shapeSOLDAs a later car it has most of the controls on steering column stalks and the other switches on the dash are illuminated and labelled - just like on a proper car! This has to be the most practical standard wheelbase G4 we've ever had.SOLD

I've tried to sort this wonky picture out but failed!   We really liked this one

The restored chassis is sitting on suspension with the steering rack fitted. It has a complete Ford axle of the type used on the early G4s and is stronger than the A series axles.

Gerry Hunt's square tube chassis Ginetta G4    SOLD    August 2007

It's got windows now and 1500 proving miles

Recreated from a Ginetta chassis and with 1960s registration and paperwork.Gerry's G4 Gerry had two G4s in the 1960s and his exploits are well documented in both editions of the excellent G4 book by Trevor Pyman, The concept was simple: We agreed to finish a partially restored car for Gerry to produce a car as close to his Series 3 car as possible - for road and hillclimb/sprint use. The process involved a number of fascinating and enjoyable meetings at The Station Hotel in Framlingham! We were fascinated to learn that the unusual looking Series 3 bonnet was sold to Gerry by Bob Walklett because Gerry wanted the Series 3 roof for it's more aerodynamic shape - and Bob would only sell them both together! Gerry's car in Singapore

As you can see, the result was still attractive and also featured neat wheel arch extensions as fitted to the works G4R of Chris Meek. We faithfully recreated these too. Finding the headlights was a real mission but the project got to the stage where we couldn't charge for all our efforts but enjoyed the results all the same.                      

Look at the wheels on that!Since taking delivery, Gerry has completed 1500 miles and has developed the car with several specialists local to him in Northampton. Sadly he is not well enough to use it now. It is tucked away in a barn in Northamptonshire and his brother John Hunt can be contacted on 01604 402 984.

The exhaust was remade by BTB and ceramic coated at a cost of over £1000!BTB £1000 exhaust A beautiful airbox, full suspension set up and other nice touches have been added by the respected Northampton Motorsport. The rebuilt engine with a fast road cam and twin webers gives about 120bhp at only 5000 rpm which makes it useable yet very fast and competitive.

Northampton Motorsport goodies

 

 

The car is painted in a current vauxhall colour of 2 pack base and lacquer which Gerry felt captured the spirit of the original. He has fitted a Lotus Elan gearbox with an alloy bellhousing and concentric clutch slave cylider, stronger half shafts and has a selection of wheels and tyres. This is a unique car with interesting history and connections. It is a super road car and because of the circumstances is for sale direct from our friends Gerry and John Hunt.

Gerry on one of his visits

Anyone wishing to take advantage of this excellent deal but who would prefer a more standard bonnet and the removal of the rear arches, might like to consider buying the car from Gerry and John and bringing he car to us for a reduced and fixed price of £2000 including VAT..
