Ginetta Cars

Consumer Discretionary

Ginetta Cars Limited is a British specialist builder of racing and sports cars based in Garforth, Leeds, West Yorkshire. It was founded in 1958 by the four Walklett brothers, Bob, Ivor, Trevers and Douglas, in Woodbridge, Suffolk, after the first car, later known as the Ginetta G1, was built in 1957. The firm moved to Witham, Sudbury and Scunthorpe in turn, and the Walkletts sold it on 7 November 1989 to a group of enthusiasts run by Martin Phaff. In late 2005 it was acquired by LNT Automotive, a company run by the racing driver and businessman Lawrence Tomlinson, and in mid-2007 it moved to a factory near Leeds. Its cars since then include the G50 GT4 car, the G55, the mid-engined G60 launched in October 2011 and the G56 launched in 2021.
