The reported history for G4 chassis 0262 is that it was originally raced in the U.K. up through the 1980’s. Then the car came to the U.S. where it has been campaigned in vintage events since the 1990’s.
Prior owners include Phil Manley, Craig Chima, and Fred Fischer. The car was painted Aston Martin green while raced by Fischer. It has since been resprayed to its current blue color. The paintwork is excellent.

The Ginetta races in Group VCP with SVRA, and would be a Group 2 car with CSRG, HMSA, and similar vintage racing organizations.
The Ginetta is in excellent condition as can be seen from the photos. We have sold several cars for this owner in the past. All were excellent, and like the Ginetta, maintained by pro shops. Without exception all of the buyers have been extremely pleased with no only the condition of the car when they received it, but also the value they got for what they paid. We expect this car to be just the same.
So if you want a great buy on a great, no excuses, Ginetta, please contact us.
