The Ginetta G14 was an incomplete prototype intended as a replacement for the Ginetta G4. The Ginetta Owners Club model index describes it as a front engined two seater sports car with a 1.6 litre Ford Kent engine, and says it was abandoned because of fears of high insurance rates. The club timeline records that a prototype G14 chassis was built in spring 1967 but not progressed with, and the Ginetta Owners Club of Switzerland, quoting Motorbase, calls it an incomplete prototype replacement for the G4. The Imp powered G15 was launched at the London Motor Show in October 1967, and it was the G15 that went on to be sold in numbers. No price or production figure is recorded for the G14.
