I placed an order for a G4 a while back, but now i'm in two minds as to whether get a g4 or wait for g12/16.
I contacted dunnell engines who said they could do a Zetec with 230BHP that will pass SVA.-engine will cost about £6500.
Or-- wait for g12/16 with Duractec...

The updated G12 is very tempting...

Can't wait to see the improved version!

The G4(with roof) is very nice specialy with the 230hp engine...

But a G12 with that or even better engine is awesome....so G12 for me if i could choose, its just that little more sportscar...

If you want a genuine G4 G12 why not give DARE a ring on 01621 869199
They have got several G12 on the go at the moment . I know they can do everything from rolling chassis body to a complete car.
It always surprises me why people would go to other sources for a fake when you can buy the real thing from them, unless you want a dodgy one of course.

The g12's i've seen that have been built by 'other' suppliers are not nice! The build quality and attention to detail just isn't there. Not surprising really bearing in mind that they are sometimes half the price of the real thing. You gets what you pay for springs to mind!If someone is genuinely into these beautiful cars why on earth would they want something that is sub standard and non genuine. No one else has the rights to manufacture the G12 and its only got to be a matter of time before the copy right holders wake up - there has been a resurgence of interest from Japan for the G4 and G12 and Dare have got quite a few G12's on the go so maybe they will do that to protect the brand. Lets face it - won't exactly be hard for the Lawyers to find these 'other' suppliers will it??

of course ud be crazy to go anywhere but to DARE. They originally created these vehicles, and for them to still be able to produce them now is great for us. You cant say that about many motoring firms.
Anyhow,, i know they can do a Race G12, but what about the ROAD G12/16.... any more progress???
