Nearly... bought a G4 yesterday
Discussion
This one's up for sale so I got in quick this time.
Met up with owner yesterday and had a run.
Really nice compromise as it has a detatchable hardtop and has a softtop.
My offer was not quite good enough but I really need to stick to my limit.
Nice car - needs a little bit of attention but don't they all.
I'm swaying back to a DZ now strangely for entering and exiting reasons(but keeping mum about the car - I don't want to be gazumped again).
You only remember how tiny the G4 is when it's alongside a big car ...like a MINI
PS any owners considering selling? - go to Stoneleigh, I'm looking to buy!

Hi Snapper7, hope you are well on the mend?
I (sort of) intercepted this car - it's on its way to Spadge and a 'prospective' buyer - been funny if I'd bought it because I would then be guilty of the gazumping that had been done to me re the silver DZ.
It (G4) could still fall through I suppose - then be on the market.
Whether it will be via Spadge I don't know, depends how Spadge views the car.
Unfortunately, I can't say what I offered for the car because I've been asked not to disclose, which is fair enough.
Keep a watch on Ginetta Heritage site.
Dave Baker's beauty is for sale and it's a long cockpit ...BUT 23 Grand.
Thought Dave would have kept it forever?
Personally, after driving the G4 yesterday I can't see the need for a LC. I had bags of room - ok, I'm 6ft and slim but the seller is 2 inches taller than me and MUCH broader! He has no problem fitting in and driving.
He was a bit cramped in the passenger side though, knees on dash but that was more to do with the extinguisher on the floor.

but that was more to do with the extinguisher on the floor.I am 6ft and all the short cockpit cars that I have been in have been uncomfortable within 20mins. I would really need a LC version. Mind you I am financially wiped out after with the current down turn and the unfortunate misfortune of a Stroke.
Bit gutted because I did have a good amount of money put by for a G4 for the last few years, but no LC Coupe came up for sale.

That's correct.
Owner had a little 'off', no chassis damage but enough to warrant a new clamshell, but he preferred the rear without the 'vents' and pods for reverse/fog lights.
Not sure if it sold, but I've leant towards a DZ now.
Update: no it didn't sell, it's on Spadge's site now 16k.

Just for clarification - I know there's been some discussion off line as to why our LWB G4 is on Spadge's site - I have been diagnosed with cancer and we've decided a car I can get into and out of more easily while undergoing treatment and afterwards will be of more use to us - no other reason. So we've bought a Cayman (thanks to my critical illness cover!) and decided 8 cars was just a few too many so the one I struggle to reach the pedals of had to go!
