Ginetta G1
The Ginetta G1, was the first car from Ginetta in the G naming series, but the second actual Ginetta Car, as the Ginetta Fairlite kit car predates it. HistoryThe G1 was a one off, not destined for production, was based on a Pre-War Wolseley Hornet 998.[1] The G1 was eventually wrecked somewhere in Suffolk, destroyed in a crash against a Tree stump.[2] The car was styled after the Maserati 4CLT.[3] The new body kit cuts down on the weight of the Hornet by around 600 kg (1,300 lb), meaning that the performance is almost twice as quick as the hornet, as it goes 0-60.0 mph (96.6 km/h) in around 12.5 seconds, rather than the 24.0 seconds the Hornet does, and the top speed increase is similarly massive as the Hornet does 65 mph (105 km/h), and the G1 does 88 mph (142 km/h).[4] References
