Anyone got any old Photos of the Ginetta Display at this event in London?
Apparently a Silver G33 and G32 were shown but not sure what else?
I know some would not miss a motor show back then but did anyone take pictures of the cars?
I cant find much about the show on the interweb hence this question and if anyone can help please contact me.

Thanks I think I have questioned that man but no joy as yet as he probably cant be arsed to spend hours going through his old Photo's? DC?
What else can you remember then? Was Ivor still involved at that time? I have the G33 and its previous owner bought the G32 from an auction as well but sold it on fairly quickly.

Thanks Jack yes they look like the ones thanks. Any chance of a private email with them attached please?
I wonder which Car the Red G33 is?
The G32 and My G33 were both bought together from the dealers in Leicestershire but the chap sold the 32 after a year or so. He kept the G33 until I bought it with 9k miles on it.
Great 80's looking stand for the early 90's.
Were you working then or just visiting the stand?
Cheers Harvey

Is that a young looking Martin with Ivor?
Oh and Steve Wright in the afternoon trying the Red G33 along with Francis Rossie sat in my G33?
Also is that Prince Charles waiting for a sit in the Silver car when Francis gets out?

I don't see any of those people!

Mind you I didn't go as I always thought 'Motorfair' was a second rate show compared to the 'real' Motor Show.

I know it's 17 years ago but Prince Charles was thin on top then. Just shown someone else and they said the same, naaaaaaah, too much hair.

Thinking about it, 1991 was when Princess Di opened the show as it had the new Earls Court 2 (this is in the new part I think) or whatever it was called, so I suppose Charlie would have been about - but where's Di? Guy to the right by silver case I'll give you, looks a tad like a bodyguard.

As for Francis Rossi (Status Quo) when did he ever wear glasses and a jacket!
Steve Wright? No way, reckon it's a hack (journalist).
Slim Martin Phaff, yeah I reckon it is.
Could be Moderi talking to Ivor?

I wasn't serious! Or was I?
I'm sure Jack will know who was there however?
Have you noticed the carpet must have been changed between the two pictures and where were all the visitors other than HRH?
