Looks an interesting story, I wonder how many G27s Phaffy was selling since the G20 came out?

probably the wrong side of bugger all, I know which one I'd rather have - given the choice

[ginettag27]

steady!

The two cars are totally different beasts (I've got one of each btw)..

History repeating itself for Ginetta??? Hope not!!

The G27 could be an excellent small, sporty kit-car.. A few updates here and there, it will be interesting to see what GKD 'do' with it..

sorry, must have seemed a bit sharp - in a frosty mood yesterday! It's not that I don't like the G27 (my G33 is basically a G27!) it's that I am completely in luuurve with the little G20!

Doors and a boot do go a long way on a road car though. When financial constraints finally bite and the G20 race car has to go, I was thinking of a G27 as a weekend toy (suitably breathed on of course ), and then Martin goes and sells it.

So much for supporting the company.

Doesn't Martin have a new road car in the works? G40 or something like it.

im hoping the sale of the g27 will see the g40 development finished and productionised....
it's going to be a beast..

also i have seen the mid engined project buck, which again needs further development but hopefully someday soon......

[daydreamer]

The buck does look a beast - but I'm not sure how far it has gone other than the start of a styling project. Also, for it to be a modern Ginetta, it needs more curves - IMHO of course.

I'm seeing Martin at the weekend, so will dig a bit further. I think that this week he is trying to sort out 45 racers who are at varying stages of changing engines, tyres, fuel, looking for wets etc for the first race in 30 days, so best leave him be for a while
