The Appeal

Founded in 1958 by the four Walklett brothers in Suffolk, England, Ginetta grew from a humble kit-car manufacturer into a globally recognised motorsport powerhouse. The Ginetta G15 is one of the most celebrated British sports cars of the late 1960s and early 1970s: a lightweight, fibreglass-bodied coupé powered by a rear-mounted Hillman Imp-derived engine. With fewer than 800 examples built during its production run, the G15 remains a rare and sought-after model among enthusiasts of small-capacity British sports cars.

This 1970 example is registered in France on a Carte Grise de Collection and benefits from matching serial numbers. The vendor describes it as reliable and well-suited to historic rallies.
