I’ve met Lawrence (on both occasions in his own home, and he was wearing something with Ginetta branding on him). He is clearly a good businessman and has a thrifty Yorkshire mentality when it comes to spending money on functional items, so I can only imagine that this is a bit of a folly for him.
Surely almost any fresh car design graduate could pen something that looks better than this? Of course get the aero guys to tweak it, but it would still come out far better than this.
