Ginetta Heritage Ltd has been formed from the Ginetta related elements of Cottage Classics Ltd, with the full support and financial input from Ginetta Cars Ltd, to support and supply the classic Ginetta market and the Ginetta Heritage Race Series.

Spadge Hopkins formed Cottage Classics in 1994 as there was no real support for Ginetta sports cars.  The company moved  from Essex to Framlingham, Suffolk in November 1998 supplying parts, service, sales, and expertise backed by Spadge's copious files on just about  every Ginetta ever made.

Spadge has actively raced both Ginettas and MGs providing a very practical background for historic race preparation.  With racing comes the inevitable shunts and the company's GRP expertise has rocketed with the ability to make panels and replacement parts for almost all significant Ginetta models.

Spadge has a solid engineering background.  He was a Captain in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers resigning take a directorship in a successful electronics company for a few years before leaving to pursue his passion for motor sport and sports cars.  His enthusiasm and knowledge are very real, and moving into a Ginetta-only sphere is the realization of a long held ambition.
