Ginetta G24

Automobiles

The Ginetta G24 was a two-seater sports car announced alongside the G23 early in 1980, using work from that model to update the G21. It took the G23 style bonnet with pop-up headlights, while at the rear the chrome bumpers of the G21 were replaced by a plastic moulding that carried the high intensity fog lamps and reversing lights. The front of the G21 chassis was unchanged and the solid rear axle was retained, but it was now located by Vauxhall type trailing arms with long lower arms carrying the springs, which improved ride quality and reduced noise. Power came from a 1725 cc Sunbeam Rapier engine and the price was 5,935 pounds. Interest was limited and the car did not go into full production; two chassis were built, one sold as a complete car and the other part completed.
