I just retrieved my Ginetta G12P replica from my barn in northern California, and I am ready
to sell it. The body was allegedly pulled from the original G12P molds when they and the
original G12P were in northern California, and the car has one of four (I'm told) original
windshields. The body is complete and in excellent condition; the front and rear sections are
mounted, as are the doors. (I had door hinges made using the original G12P hinges as
patterns.) The chassis is a square-tube replica Ginetta chassis that has been modified in the
rear to accept a Mazda rotary engine, a Porsche 914 side-shifter transaxle; and VW Scirroco
front suspension, half shafts and disc brakes. These are all installed. (Everything fits without
cutting the deck. Also, the cooling slots under the rear spoiler have not been cut.) The front
suspension, steering, and disc brakes are from a Triumph Spitfire; and all four wheels are
Minilite replicas. The radiator, oil cooler, and dual gas tanks (in the sills) are installed and
plumbed; the door handles and release mechanisms (from American Motors cars) are
installed; the instrument panel is complete and installed; the steering and ignition lock (from
a VW) are installed. The major things that the car still needs are an exhaust system, wiring,
painting, and upholstery. Of course, after ten years of storage, the car needs to be gone
through before it is street-worthy. I have some photos that I took yesterday (10FEB08), but
they are to big to post here.
If interested, please call me at 650-520-7891.
