Further Details - Before the 1971 racing season Ginetta were approached by husband and wife racers Roger and Alison Davis with their plan to build a G15 with modifications to make it competitive in the Modsports category of racing for Alison to drive. Ginetta signalled their willingness to assist by building a lightweight body and chassis for the team to build up a Modsports G15 with their own fully Rose jointed suspension, very wide wheels and bodywork featuring big arches to accommodate the extra track width.
This version was dubbed the G15R and Ginetta went on to build their own car to a similar specification for Barry Wood to drive as a works entry, which became the winner of the Modsports Championship in 1972. The body featured a full roll cage as well as bonnet air extract for improved cooling. One further car was built by Ginetta in 1972 for another customer although this was later turned into a ‘hot’ road car.
