It's always sad to see a nice car destroyed. But Ginetta really know the true meaning of British Engineering.
The design team must be well proud to know they have made a car that will save lives.
And I think Shaynee needs a medal for proving it with style.

Phew! Makes you wonder how the opposition marques would fair in a crash like that?
Ginetta have a reputation for safety in many of their models, current and past. This confirms it.

Oh, and top marks to the 'white' van driver who shielded her car as she got out, unscathed.
What a loss of a car but what publicity for the marque.
Wish I had 95 grand to spare!

You can't really call it a total loss. With the interior intact you could salvage a huge amount.
So it's an eco friendly car.. kinda.

Come on its not really a Ginetta, its a Chris Marsh build and is good to see him back involved with the car.

Glad the PR girl is ok though.

Not mentioned in the article but this car was supposed to be used as the Safety Car for the first rounds of the Ginetta Supercup at Brands Hatch this weekend, shame it didn't make it. Encouraging to see the excellent safety standards of the car and that the driver jumped out unscathed.
