The Ginetta G4 Series 5 was the final development of the long-running G4 sports car, announced in autumn 1989. After the Series 4 revival of 1981, the Series 5 replaced the live rear axle with a trailing arm independent rear suspension, while Ginetta kept to Ford parts for the final drive. The Ginetta Owners Club describes it as an updated G4/4 two-seat sports car with Ford Crossflow or Pinto engines of 1.3, 1.6 or 2.0 litres. Little came of it: the club timeline notes that the model was not progressed and only one car was made, and its model page lists a production of two, one of which was an updated Series 4. Wikipedia likewise records two examples, one of them a modified Series IV.
