Rover V8 engined Ginettas

[Derek Smith]

I run www.RV8R.co.uk

The website is about the Rover V8 engine.

I would like to feature a Ginetta or two.

I really would appreciate articles and pictures.

That'll be G33's then. A good few about so someone should be along to help out.
In the meantime here's a link to some owners on a site specific to G33s hosted by 'blitzracing' (Mark Thompson)

Other Rover V8s
There was a well-known Ginetta G21 around throughout the 80s/90s owned by a Dr Harper and his wife, registered RHK 930R with a Rover V8. Last I heard it was in the hands of a Ray Wood.
Not sure what happened to it thereon.

A few G26 were fitted with Rover V8 by owners, also more than one Ginetta GRS.

Thanks for that. I know Mark.

I heard of the G21 with an RV8 but never saw it while I was in the GOC. Also one GRS that was in the (long) process of one being fitted.

Thanks for the comments, guys.

You could also consider the 1969 Brian Alexander prepared G16 that used a BMC Oldsmobile (i.e. Rover V8) development engine. The car still exists but sadly the engine was swapped for a BMW 2 litre unit a couple of years ago
