As title. And if so will the G4 and G12 be there?

I doubt it, but you never know. I'm really hoping so - I got Mel interested a bit at Goodwood revival, but I'd really like her to have a proper look at a G4... then again we now only live a short hop to Paul Stephens' place so we could always go for a look or test drive there.

I think Ginetta will be there with LNT, at least to promote the G50 at this year's shows.

Thanks for that. I might try to find out from them to see if the G12 is there at all. Do Dare have a factory demo car?

doubt there will be many Ginettas going this year. Also doubt Dare will be there- they have no demonstrators at all, but maybe ring them to check.

The only place I've been able to see and try any Dare cars at all is at Paul Stephens' place. He's a 911 racer so mainly deals with Porsche, but he has a lot of other stuff and was an official Marcos dealer in the day's of the Mantis.

I've never known him to have a G12 and as I've never heard of offically having a road going car, I can see why. On the other hand, I know of at least one that is road going on PH, if you want I can ask him to contact you, though I'd guess you already know of each other anyway smile

Thanks for that; I have a quote off Paul for a new G4 but parred-down for hillclimbing. Wasn't to bad really.

Yeah - last time I spoke to Paul he was looking at changing the offering Dare gives from being al a carte style to choose one off the menu to keep production costs and lead times down.
His 'clubman' offering was really good (amazing actually when you look at all the kit you get), but as I wanted a car nearer the top-end, it wasn't so good; I had to delay until I had the funds, during which I split with my misses and had to buy a new house so all the funds went into that money pit instead. I'll get a G4 one day though smile
