I had a hard time to find the picture and information of a G32 1.9 so I hope it's right!

Powertrain: 1905 cc , Inline-4 , Turbo , 136 hp / 6000 rpm , 145 Nm / 3500 rpm , 5-speed manual

Dimensions: Length 3760 mm , Width 1651 mm , Height 1168 mm , Weight 900 kg

Performance: Top speed 208 km/h , 0-100 km/h 7,3 sec

This is from http://www.g32.co.uk/ website.

"Introduced in 1989, the G32 was a development of the Fiesta Mk1 based G25 prototype. Also using many fiesta and escort parts, the G32 was Ginetta's attempt to re-enter the type approved market. The type approval route was chosen over supplying the car in kit form following overwhelming feedback when the car was initially introduced to the public as a prototype.

It was initially available with the XR3i 1.6 MFi engine. Later, a small number of examples were produced using the RS turbo engine but when this presented cooling difficulties, a 1.9 model with an engine built by Specialised Engines was introduced. Some owners have sought to bring the model further up to date by fitting Zetec engines - a move which was apparently intended by the factory had it not been for the fact that they were not able to obtain them from Ford in time for production.

Both Coupe and Convertible body styles were available with just over 100 Coupes sold and around 20 convertibles.

Early cars had a non-galvanised chassis and the Fiesta MK2 dashboard. Later models were supplied with a fully galvanised chassis and the Fiesta Mk3 dash although many of the other parts remained sourced from the Mk2. Many other minor changes such as spring rates, wheel designs etc. were introduced throughout the lifetime of the model.

The exact specification of each car was customisable for each customer in terms of trim, equipment etc. so it is unusual to find two that are alike. To add confusion, some earlier spec models were held back as show cars and demonstrators by the factory and not registered until after the later specification was released!"
