Buyer’s notes

About the Ginetta G4

The G4 was designed by Ivor Walklett, one of the four brothers who founded Ginetta in Suffolk, and launched at the 1961 Racing Car Show. It has a tubular spaceframe with a glassfibre body bonded to it and Ford engines, the 997 cc 105E at first; more than 500 were made by 1969.

What moves the price

  • Engine and series: specification varies from car to car, with larger Ford engines in later cars.
  • Build quality: the standard of construction and of any rebuild.
  • History: a provable identity and any competition record.

Before you buy, check

  • The spaceframe tubes for corrosion and accident damage.
  • The bond between body and frame, and the glassfibre for cracks and repairs.
  • The chassis number and engine against the car’s documents.
