Unleash the Thrill of Vintage Racing with the 1970 Ginetta G15
Rev up your passion for classic cars with the extraordinary 1970 Ginetta G15. This golden gem, with its sleek black interior, is not just a car; it's a one-of-a-kind experience waiting to be embraced. As one of only 800 ever built, and with a full rebuild from the chassis up in 2021, this vintage masterpiece is a rare find. It's supposedly one of the last six still gracing UK roads - although official numbers are hard to verify.
Key Features:
- Distinctive Design: The gold exterior and black interior turns heads wherever you go.
- Precision Performance: Powered by a 1.0L Petrol engine, this vintage marvel is engineered for hill climbing glory, the race cam fitted provides an exhilarating ride from 4000 to 9000 RPM.
- Exceptional History: This G15 comes with a rich history, including a comprehensive photo documentation of its 2021 rebuild and a 3-inch-thick file of receipts, showcasing the dedication and care invested.
Feel the Rush:
Picture yourself in the F1-style driving position, gripping the genuine Ginetta gear knob. The addictive bark from the twin 45 DHLA E Dell'Orto Carburettors echoes behind you, making every drive a symphony of power. Experience the kick from the race cam, pulling you like a train through corners, aided by 14-inch rears and 13-inch fronts on wide rubber.
Impeccable Upkeep:
Rest easy knowing that this beauty has received meticulous attention. Recent upgrades include head bolt re-torquing, water pump reconditioning, and carburettor cleaning. Weighing in at approximately 450kg, it's effortlessly flicked around corners, delivering a driving experience like no other.
Extras for Enthusiasts:
The gearbox, with its sweet close ratio, adds to the joy, though it does the occasional 2 to 3 clunk. And while the brakes could use an upgrade, this is a small price to pay for the sheer thrill of ownership.
Exclusive Offer:
As a parting gift, the owner includes a Classic Additions car cover worth over £200. Act now to secure your chance to own this motoring masterpiece.
Future Considerations:
While this G15 is a gem, the current owner, who is reluctantly selling due to a house move, feels there is unfinished business with the car. If they'd had more time, the following are the improvements they would have made:
• A respray for a fresh aesthetic.
• Replace air filters with trumpets for added performance.
• Consider a dog-ring gearbox for seamless transitions.
• Upgrade to a quick-release steering wheel for enhanced control.
• Low-profile tyres and lighter alloys.
• Complete the package with a set of Smith gauges.
The windscreen does have a crack in it and the rubber seal of the windscreen needs replacing as it is causing it to leak!
