25th June 2008 We've been ridiculously busy recently. The things we can tell you about include Eric's G27 Ebay special that ended up with a new engine amongst other things!
There's now some content on our USA page with news of the next big event there coming soon. We were thrilled to be able to buy one of only 8 surviving G2s last week. It's not far off being a runner and may be destined for the Ginetta Cars Heritage Collection. However, it's such a delightful little thing that we would be pleased to keep it.
