Ginetta G15 Series 4

The Ginetta G15 Series 4 was the fourth series of the Ginetta G15, introduced in July 1972 with the final major changes to the model. The Ginetta Owners Club explains that legislation in the early 1970s forced Ginetta to bring the G15 into line with new requirements, so the bodies came from a further new set of moulds and the car was put through type approval, including a 30 mph crash test that it passed. The upgrades included flush external and internal door handles, forward-looking front indicator lights, a front underbody raised by one inch to give more room in the pedal area, and a steel fuel tank in place of the fibreglass tanks used before. The club says that between July 1972 and the end of March 1973 Ginetta built 159 cars at its new factory in Sudbury, Suffolk, which was an all-time high rate of production.
