That car did nearly 100k miles in it's first 3 years, so someone had a fuel card. The advert looks like shit, it's in Manchester and "under trade value" suggests its a ticking wallet bomb....but nice clean MOT history.

That looks like a fanstastic example for 22k. Mileage isn't a problem, and it's had a new clutch....a whole lotta car for the money.

Thats often the way with “sports” cars, they’re owned by enthusiasts who want to own everything so have them for a year and move onto the next thing. My second M3 had 9 owners and wAs looked after well throughout.


i don’t expect that one to be tip top though! 550bhp for £10k is nuts though!

That makes sense as a principle. Add what Matty said and it is time for a hefty pinch of salt.

I’ve seen clean unmolested examples for £12,000, this one is more still but lowish miles - doesn’t state how many owners though!

Prices can’t get much lower can they, until there’s a total ban on ICE :lol:

Must be a hoot on the road. Was just checking out the Ginetta website to see if they have a configurator but it seems like the G40 is now a track only car and their road cars are just ]LS based supercars apart from the G10 thing which looks like a shit Cobra. They all look pretty shit. Thought they'd have an affordable road car range.

Not keen on the look of that, hardtops often spoil the looks of cars designed to be soft tops for me (S2000 for example), with a few exceptions like the elise....

I have a suspicion that your carbon hard top is lighter than the fabric soft top - would that be correct?
