Ginetta with Austin 1800 engine?

[GinELla]

I met a guy today who said he knew someone with a Ginetta - bigger than my G15 - with an Austin 1800 Princess engine. Was there ever a Ginetta model suited for this engine? Wasn't the Princess engine/trans transverse mounted like on the previous model called just "1800"?

Hi,
the Austin Princess 1800 used to have a transverse version of the MGB's B-Series engine.
...G11 was the only Ginetta model which made use of it.

I'd already thought of that when I first saw this thread (I would!) - hopefully Tom can give a lead.
