Ginetta G21

The Ginetta G21 was a British sports car introduced in 1970 as a larger companion to the rear engined G15. It was initially offered with either a 1.7 litre four cylinder engine sourced from the Rootes Group, whose Sunbeam Rapier unit later became the standard four cylinder choice, or a 3.0 litre Ford Essex V6, and the car largely used Rootes components. A total of 80 cars were produced before production ceased in 1974 as a result of the oil crisis. The design was later morphed into an open top G23 and a coupe G24, but none of those variants went into production, so the G21 remained the only car of this line that Ginetta put on sale.
