    It was owned by two friends/brothers, can't remember which? Sure it went to Italy on one of smithys trips, guess smithy will know what happened to it.

    I also think the Everingham car suffered a similar fate after being sold to someone on Tenerife or Madiera? Not sure which.
    Haven't seen the "Castrol" car in years! Mark & Marcus's car?Guy
    I think the Castrol car owners were Tim MacCawley and Marcus Hope?
    I did see John Whalley's 8v Turbo car Guy. See here:

    'What about John Whalley's Thema Turbo car Chris? Didn't you ever see that one? Written off in an accident with a Mercedes box van I think.'

    No John (Whalley) and car are fit and well, car was rebuilt after the 'contretemp' the Sprinter was terminal however. John was also a little frayed around the edges in the aftermath, but is now back fit and well

    The other cars in the photo are my Hawk, one of John's two Lancia Thema 8:32, and one of his numerous Integrales

    Check the photos of the yellow Dino engined car in the following links:
    Dino engined replica.

    Engine bay.
    Front

    Once owned by Chris Connelly Phil. We had a thread about it not so long ago, but this is what Chris C. said:
    "I bought the car from Andy Boyle. You are quite right it was a really well built car but it had a number of issues with suspension set up and engine. The engine had had a pretty hard life and was in need of a major rebuild, we could never get It to run really well. Unfortunately in those days I didn't have the funds to rebuild it so I ended up selling it via a dealer in London to a guy in Japan and I assume the car is still there. Bizarrely I still have the reg document and I believe it is still registered in my name.
    It is great to see some digital images of it as all I have are some faded photo's. I did have a magazine article that was done when the car was in the channel islands but sadly I have mislaid that.
    Good find Chris, like all these things I wish now that I had kept hold of it.
