They made some pretty road cars (the G50 seems to be a pastiche of the G21) but I never got close enough to one to find out if they were actually any good.

I've driven a G16 - good in an 'old fashioned' sort of way. Think 1960s racer and you'd be about there. I'd have one.

G20 is fun in the same mould as a Caterham, but with a tendency to generate a fair amount of lift above about 80mph which can be a bit disconcerting. The aero can be tweaked on a trackday/road car, but the one I drove was a G20 Championship car and no aero was allowed.

Carl Breeze (white G50 above) raced us in the 2CV 24hour last year.

That's going up in the world......
