99p bid didn't last long!

Wonder what it will fetch?

Don't recognise the no. plate but just noticeable it's got one of my old GOC round stickers in the back screen.
Tried enlarging the engine bay pic to try and get the chassis no. but resolution not good enough.
Chassis probably rotten around rear springs area, but then you never know. Could be a bargain if you have plenty of spares hanging around.

It belonged to Ian Arnold of Wokingham, where it still is, up to 1989, so it's presumably still in his shed. Had a Hartwell 998.

I'm trying very hard to place Ian. Right area to have turned up at our meetings in the 80s.

Did you know it was Steve Greensword's car at one point Geoff? Just looked on my old Register 1979 listings. Chassis 704, Silver Grey. Steve had sold it by then. Was 875 at that point and sprinted by prev owner, so had roll over bar etc. Ginetta rebuilt the engine with a new 875 block in 1976.
Unless that's all wrong!

Anyway, be interesting to see what it fetches. I reckon if it doesn't go mad someone is going to get a good restoration project there, unless the chassis is finished.

Yes, it was one of my G15s, I purchased it from a doctor in Hampstead, he had just had the engine done at Ginetta with lots of new bits. He had done some sprinting in the car and it had a part cage. As you say, at that time it was finished in grey and was in great condition. I paid £1250 for the car which seemed a lot at the time, but it was difficult to negotiate the price down as the seller had two enquiries by phone when I was sitting in his front room trying to talk the price down. Hope it finds a good home.

Hmm.
Ended by seller, no longer available. Someone's bought it outside ebay then?
