Ginetta G4 Series 3

The Ginetta G4 Series 3 was the third series of the Ginetta G4, announced at the Racing Car Show in January 1967. The Ginetta Owners Club says that by 1966 Ginetta felt the G4, still selling well, needed new life because it was showing its age against sports cars from other makers. The Series 2 square tube chassis car was upgraded with a much improved interior, a styled dashboard, better sealing of the side windows and a smoother bonnet line incorporating lay-down headlamps, and the coupe received a revised hardtop with a square cornered windscreen taken from the new G12. The car met a mixed response when first shown, with many preferring the original bonnet style. Engine options stayed as before, but for 1968 the Ford 1600 cc crossflow engine became an option, which the club describes as perhaps the nicest road G4 of them all. Production finished in mid-1968 to make way for a completely new replacement model.
