Summary 

Show season, track days, or drives out, whatever floats your boat the season for cars like this Ginetta is just around the bend and this G27 needs a new owner to make the most of that true racing pedigree.
 
With some imperfections, you won't be scared to make the most of what this perky little motor can achieve though alternatively it is a prime candidate too for some refined TLC to make this crazy low mile, early example a bit of a head turner.
