Model - G4 series 1

Appearance - 2 seater Sports

Power plant - Ford 997

Further details - Sports 2-seater for race or road. Various Ford engine options. Despite the G2 and G3 appearing first it was in fact the G4 that Ivor Walklett designed first, but the complexity of the project meant the car was four years or more in the development while they gained the skills and knowledge necessary to make this model.  Several engine, gearbox and axle combinations were considered including Coventry Climax and Standard Ten before the car emerged in 1960 with the new 997cc Ford 105E engine gearbox and rear axle.   The car was a huge step forward and as well as a quick road car showed some potential in competition as well.  The official public launch was at the 1961 Racing Car Show but orders initially were slow, with an all in asking price of £697 for the car in component form.  Reducing the price in 1962 to £499, albeit with painting and weather equipment now extras, did however encourage sales.  The series 1 can be identified by its short tail bodywork although the round tube chassis is the same as later models, but the rear axle was quickly changed to a unit of BMC origin.  During 1962 the G4 started to get noticed on the race track with cars campaigned by Fos Wilson, Malcolm Douglas, David Stares and especially Nick Grace who turned heads by winning races and taking the lap record at Goodwood in his Series 1 with a Martin tuned engine.

Cost - £499.00

Production - 500+(all series)
