I bought it in Dec 2004, never saw a day without a chance of rain until that day on 17th Mar 2005.  Every time I feel like taking her out it starts to cloud over and looks like rain.   I bought it with 1,200 miles and 5 or so years later it's just hit 1,300 miles.

It was a bit of a giggle today at my workshop when I was going to take her out but my pals wanted to go in the 131 Racing.  I've done more miles in my 131 in two weeks than I have done in the Ginetta in 5 years !

Its a very rare factory built G34 Turbo, one of only 5 made and this is the only RHD one.  I do also have the rare factory built V8 G33; there are only 40'ish of those also.  But no one knows for sure the actual number made as Ginetta went bust in 93 and a few builds were shipped overseas out the backdoor before the liquidators and creditors got there...........The Volvo directors saved the Marque..............
