The Ginetta G15S was the sportier specification of the rear engined Ginetta G15, fitted with a 998 cc Hillman Imp Sport Rallye engine instead of the standard 875 cc Imp unit. The Ginetta Owners Club says that from the earliest days of G15 production a few buyers asked about fitting the 998 cc Imp competition engine, and that the third G15 built was fitted with one by its new owner rather than the 875 cc engine supplied with the car. The club quotes a 1973 factory built tax paid price of 1545 pounds and says production numbers are included within the G15 totals. The Ginetta Owners Club of Switzerland describes the G15S as an optional extra for the G15 producing around 65 bhp, lists it as a two door, two seat coupe and dates it from 1967 to 1974.
