Other highlights included meeting Nichola from Germany who wants to race a G4, the all-mini St Mary's Trophy on Sunday and the TT race on Sunday with some stunning Ferraris and Lightweight E types battling for an hour. There's an interesting Ginetta for sale here |

Alistair's G15 is just waiting for a road test. |

The car is now ready for Richard to drive in the Fordwater Trophy on Saturday 19th September alongside (if not in front of) the other G4 entered.Remember the yellow G15 we sold? Well Sam is getting on well with the straight - forward restoration that we told him it would be. Rather than play with his G4 that we are racing in the Spa 6 Hour later this month, Emile has been painting the G16 we did for him. We're off to the Silverstone 1000 km race this Sunday thanks to VIP passes kindly sent by the Factory. We'll probably give the long cockpit G4 an airing, somebody has to do it! |
