Ginetta G4 Modellers

[Justin-W]

Just thought I'ld let you all fellow Ginetta fans/owners that theres a G4 Model car available.

Website is
http://www.mmcars.info/GinettaG4.htm
and price list http://www.mmcars.co.uk/model.asp?carmanu=165

Think I might get round to doing it at some point, just a shame theres no G32's.

Wrong scale though - anyoneknow the source of the 1/32 G4 in Ivor Walklett's bookcase?

I think this came up a year or two ago - if you do a search in this section then you should find something... I think I may have written a post in that thread too, so I'll see if I can find anything in my history.

Yippee! Found it at last - check out http://www.slotcarportal.com/ and go to the AA bodies section. You can have a 1964 G4 Coupe built to your specification for £79 plus p&p. Mine is already on its way....

Wonder if it could be adapted to make a G33

Theres only one way to find out, eh Nick ?!

Cut the roof off, trim the windscreen, add a couple of rear pipes and Bobs your uncle !!

(might order a couple in case things go wrong.......)

I have enquired about a G12 as well.....

So thats how Ginetta made the G33!

I always thought Ivor's came from Japan, like the 1/43 Tokura Mishima one.

Let us know what yours is like Dave when you receive it - website makes it look like a rather rough slot-car racing item than a detailed resin model.

Don't suppose you are going to Mallory are you Dave? Bit of a trek.

Blimey forgot all about this thread,
Have come across another model but of the G15 in white metal, one was on ebay not so long ago.

The whole idea was to find a G4 slotcar model - I am not into detailed models that sit in display cases gathering dust... There is also a guy in Australia who can supply a vacuum-formed G15 slotcar body plus a chassis kit.

As for Mallory, I don't think a picnic is worth the trip. If it had stayed as a track day at Curborough, we might have been tempted....
