Ginetta GRS Tora

Automobiles

The GRS Tora was a Range Rover inspired fibreglass estate that Ginetta built in the 1980s, inspired by the success of the Dutton Sierra estate kit car. The Mark I was first shown in October 1982 and went on sale the next year. It used the underpinnings of a 1968 Hillman Hunter and the front doors of the four door Hunter, which made the rear seat awkward to reach. A Tora Pickup was shown in October 1983, and the Mark II began deliveries in August 1984 with a relocated fuel tank and a full height rear gate. The Mark III was shown at the July 1989 Newark Kit Car Show as a four door estate on Ford Cortina underpinnings, with Cortina engines or a Perkins diesel, but only two were built. About 320 Toras of all variants were built, and production gradually ended by 1988.
