Hello chap/esses, with a view to eliminating or minimising water ingress with my car I was wondering if any of you have heard of or seen a hardtop for the G33? martin phaff says that the G.O.C have a member who has the mould but since I'm not a member that's a no go...

I've had a check in the archive section on the Ginetta owners club website regarding the G33 hardtop. It seems that the G33 hardtop was made by a company called Fibre Form. Last known contact was Mr. David Sewell, Tel: 01469 535060


just been on the phone to this chap, very helpful and full of advice but it turns out that the mould was lost in a fire at the Ginetta factory some years ago so my only other options are to find one for sale and respray it or find one and take a mould from it...he did mention that a chap may have an unfinished one for sale but he has no further contact details.

thanks for your help chaps

Fereday Cars do a G27 hardtop, perhaps they could assist in adapting the design to fit a G33. Alternatively they do new softtops which might be more waterproof than the one you've got.

just spoken to him, nice fellow he has the moulds almost ready for the hardtop and thinks that they can be modified for the G33 do all may not be lost!
