Ginetta G1

The G1 was a home constructed 'special' built by Ivor and Trevers Walklett in their garden at their home. When later they started producing a car which they sold, they called it the G2, and retrospectively called their earlier 'special' the G1. The story goes that they crashed this car into a tree stump at the side of the driveway of their home, destroying it. No remains exist.
