Ginetta models by dateAfter the business became valid at the end of the 1950's, there was an explosion of work in the 1960s with the G4 series becoming immensely popular. The 1970s was characterised by the downturn in the economy around the time of the 3 day week, and Ginetta reacted by concentrating on their popular G15 and G21 models. With better times in the 1980 the company responded with some interesting ideas, principally a utility vehicle which they called the GRS Tora. Early in the 1990s the company was sold to new owners, who continued to manufacture the G32 and G33 models, and developed cars for the track. Later two of the founding brothers formed Dare, and started developing designs of their own. In 2006 Ginetta was sold to LNT, a motor racing group of companies based in South Yorkshire.
