Ginetta Owners Club

07958 301686 - John Morrison

Ginetta Owners' Club was formed early in 1977 to formalize the Ginetta Owners' Register which had been collated the previous years by Jules Birch as a body to link owners via a newsletter. Until the formation of the Club the newsletter had been produced by Jules at his own expense and was available to owners by sending a stamped addressed envelope.
The inauguration of the Club saw Jules installed as Chairman of the newly elected committee which initially comprised a General Secretary, a Treasurer, a Magazine Editor and a Competition Secretary. In the early years of the club membership was fairly stable at around 150 members. However, during the 80's the membership steadily and consistently increased. The cause of this change in fortune was an improvement in the 'Newsmag' and a greater enthusiasm for and awareness of the marque, generated both by the Club and the new models being produced by Ginetta Cars Ltd.
In the early years the Newsmag was compiled and edited by John Rose, the author of a number of authoritative books on the marque. Over the years it developed and improved and in both 1984 and 1993 won the 'Classic Cars' award at the expense of many larger and longer established car clubs.
