The one on ebay is very good.

I know the red car that is for sale in somerset, its a very well looked after car that has won GOC concours a couple of years ago.

As a G33 owner, I would recommend them, but be prwepared for leaks in the rain, and lots of attention in petrol stations and when parking etc.

Would I sell mine? Well everyone has their price, but I am unlikely to be offered the price I would need to sell.

If you like the G33 look at www.g33.co.uk

My car is one of the last Chassis No 84. Some were sold as kits, and there is infact a 2.0 normally aspirated G33 out there somewhere.

Even rarer now as mine is in France !!

First ever drive in a G33 and you drive it 670 miles home overnight, in the dark, through the rain, wind, bad weather - beat that !!

Oh what have I done weeping

You are a very brave man indeed. I only managed about 70 miles in the pouring rain at 2AM comming back from Le Mans to where I was staying and the main road was closed so it was all across country. I had to take the windows out to stop the car steaming up, so the water poured in, and visability was almost non existant. Not and experiance I ever wish to repeat!!

I have done pouring rain at Le Mans too, I got soaked, but I guess if I had stopped to put he roof on I would have got equally wet whilst I put it up.

Door seals leak less now that I have run silicone sealant along them, but the cut off corners of the windscreen are perfectly placed to fire drips into your eyes at speed!

Steaming up wasn't a problem, laundry bills were after a couple of roundabouts coupled with a little throttle!
