Ginetta G21S

The Ginetta G21S was the faster version of the front engined Ginetta G21, launched at the 1973 London Motor Show. The Ginetta Owners Club says that with the G21 1800 ready for production, and fuel prices and manufacturing costs rising with inflation, Ginetta chose not to pursue a 3 litre engine in the G21 and made the G21S instead. It used the Holbay tuned 1725 cc engine from the Sunbeam Rapier H120 and Hillman Hunter GLS, with a hotter cam, twin 40 DCOE Weber carburettors and a better exhaust, and it was dubbed the flagship Ginetta and supplied with overdrive as standard. The club says around a third of the G21 cars built were S versions and lists a launch price of 2355 pounds. The Ginetta Owners Club of Switzerland dates it to 1974 and lists it as a 2+2 coupe.
