HISTORY
Back in 1957, Trevers and Ivor Walklett were the two
original founders of Ginetta Cars LTD. Their desire
to create and passion for cars started the life long quest that was to create some of the most desirable
and exhilarating designs of the last few decades.
Mark Walklett, son of Trevers who grew up in this environment with sketches on scraps of paper, sketch
books to drawing boards was taught to always have
an open mind when it comes to design.
Having helped to create in a hands on way some of the models from the mid 80’s. Mark served his apprenticeship well in the early 90’s, with one of his personal concepts granted the car of the show when launched at the 1991 motor show.
In 1992, Mark together with his father Trevers and Ivor Walklett, co-founded a new company DARE UK LTD (Design And Research Engineering), manufacturing many of their classics models and created several new designs including the DARE DZ concept that was launched at the 1998 Motor Show. |

In 2000, a new design the TG sport was launched and named in memory of Trevers Walklett.
And, with expectations running high, in 2006-2007,
DARE’s latest new mid-engined super-car, is
coming to fruition.
Other non Ginetta /Dare automotive and none automotive designs had been undertaken over the last decade. In recent years, they have varied to include a 14-ft high copper tree-fountain to Porsche classic recreation body panels and other automotive furniture, which leads us to Mark’s first commercially offered item under his
inspired designed name.
Other concepts will surely follow from these evocative periods of time. |
