Ginetta G1 was a name applied retroactively to the Walklett brothers first effort, a homebuilt roadster based on the underpinnings of a pre-war Wolseley Hornet before Ginetta Cars was founded.[1] As the Walkletts developed the Ginetta G2, they decided to start the numbering from their first build even though the car was no longer in existence. The only known documentation is a hand sketch drawn by Ivor Walklett.[1]
