Passenger seatThis Ginetta has been in our family since the mid 1980s. Originally brought for day to day transport, it was then passed down a generation for a milestone birthday and that’s when the
transformation began! The most noticeable one being the colour, from Moonstone white to Diablo Red. It was lovingly restored by 2005 and won Best Imp Based Vehicle in the annual Imp Show, Dorset '05. As time allowed serious high spec modifications began. The unnecessary heavy interior was taken out, along with the passenger seat. So now it was ready for competing in Hill Climbing events. For 7 years it was regularly trailered to competitions across the country and driven to local shows.
Sadly, due to the passing of the last owner in 2012, it has been housed in a garage, fluids drained, battery disconnected and covered. Now the time has come for it to be used and enjoyed by its next owner.
