Ginetta G4







Ginetta G-4
One car really caught my eye last weekend at Miller Motorsports Park. It was a 1964 Ginetta G-4. This is the first Ginetta that I have ever seen. The one thing that really struck me was how small this car really is. This is/ was a real two seat sports car that when new was driven on the street and was road legal. Today it is a race car but the basis for the street car is still there.

The car was towed from California on an open flat trailer and had a removable hardtop. While the car was in the pit garage I measured the top of the driver's door and it came to the top of my kneecap. Dispite being a very small car it appeared to be big enough for me.

The engine in this car is a 1600 Lotus Twin Cam with twin Weber's.
