Ginetta G33

The G33 represented Ginetta's attempt to move upmarket from kit cars to a serious road-going sports car. Using Ford's reliable 2.9L V6 in a lightweight fiberglass body, the G33 achieved impressive performance with 0-60 mph in under 6 seconds. The distinctive wedge-shaped styling and comprehensive standard equipment positioned it against TVR and Lotus. However, Ginetta's financial difficulties meant only 37 examples were completed before production ceased in 1992.

$38,000 – $62,000

Extreme rarity means few come to market. Ford mechanicals are well-supported. Check space-frame for corrosion and fiberglass for stress cracks. Ginetta-specific parts are difficult to source. Values reflect rarity and performance potential.

Built from 1990-1992 in very limited numbers due to financial constraints. The G33 used Ford Scorpio 2.9L V6 mechanicals in a purpose-designed fiberglass body on a steel space-frame chassis. Ginetta went into receivership shortly after G33 production began.
