I'll leave this open for a few more days before sending over the cash.

Great effort from everyone who has donated!

Thank you so much for organising this, and thank you so much to everybody who has kindly donated. Will keep you posted on the one I buy with the funds and also how I get on with actually getting in touch with Gary Feakins to find out what happened to my old one

Thanks again for organising this, and thanks to all involved with contributing. I’ve received some info that the company appears to have been taken over and renamed so I will contact the new owner when I’m back in UK to see if my hardtop is there. Will keep everyone posted.

I've tracked the hardtop down (thanks to info from the great guys at Graves Motorsport) with the company that was commissioned by GFR to make the hardtop shells, he thought it was Garys so kept hold of it as part payment. I have spoken to the owner, explained the situation and passed contact details to Mo this evening. The downside is it's at the other end of the country and I don't know what condition it is in (no reason to think it isn't as it was). I feel sorry for the guy who owns the company, it's a very small family operation, he had to put thousands on cards to invest in the moulds and materials whilst he turned down other work.

I have asked him for photos of the semi-finished hardtops as there is a chance he may be able to completely finish and sell the lightweight hardtop shells, I for one would be interested in one but will keep you updated if that's an option.

Fingers crossed Mo gets it back soon....... :thumbsup:

You could tell him to post details on here re prices, delivery etc, that way he can get his part of business back on track. I for 1 would be interested, others too I imagine.

If all ends well and hardtop is returned I can simply refund all the kind people that donated to this fund.

Interested to hear about these moulds too!
