The Ginetta model was originally the Ginetta G 27 . The basis was a spaceframe. An open two-seater body was mounted on it. According to the manufacturer, the models G 20 , G 27 and G 33 are on offer in 2015 .

In 2000 the Vario appeared as the successor to the Manx from Ayrspeed-Manx. A spaceframe formed the basis. In contrast to its predecessor, which was technically based on the Citroën 2 CV , the vehicles were powered by a Fiat Uno engine . The vehicle width increased by 10 cm.

A source states that production of this model ceased in 2002 and a total of about three copies were made. However, the model is still listed on the company's website. The connection to Deauville Cars , which will manufacture this model from 2011, is unclear.
