Here's a video demonstrating the car's pace. After starting from last place at NJMP's Lightning circuit, the car slices through a field of 911s, 2002s, Datsun 510s, and Mustangs to take the overall lead. It turned 1:15s along the way, and that was before some effective suspension adjustments performed later!

It's bittersweet, but the car is sold! Thanks for the interest.

Due to family issues on the buyer's part, the car is still awesome, still fast, and still for sale!

Excellent presentation on your car. Looks to be a great Ginetta. Good luck with your sale.
