I don't think you mean G32. In any case, it's not a Ginetta ...

We recently had the worst D-Type replica I've ever seen - now we get the worst E-type ! That's a shocker.

Is it a JPR Wildcat ?

(PS I just tried to PM you but the link failed - are the photos going to be reintroduced in the index? I haven't bookmarked any pages so I'm in the mire !)

I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

It's not a Wildcat, no.  It's worse..!
Thumbnails should be back before too long - it's being worked on!

Is this a smaller than full size replica, eg 3/4 full size?

Crikey, I don't think I can answer that!
It's not the same dimensions as an E-type but not sure in what way it differs.
