Where Are They Now?

[ProtoTipo]

For road registered cars:

Here's one or two for starters:

* Phil Bishop's late Alitalia Hawk?
His second Hawk (early Alitalia) is still in Scotland, but with a second owner.

* Peter Luxford, Martini striped Hawk?

* Ex Elliott Levey's ex Roger Donnan Hawk (red and white, Polish colours)

Do not quote any addresses or specific locations, obviously.

No, I think a big visual/spec change can fall into this ok.

This Hawk/Honda 2.7 went to Italy in 2007:

This twink turbo was up for sale when I first became interested mid/late 80s. It fueled my early ambitions. Never seen it in the flesh unfortunately.

I don't think I saw another turbo Lancia Hawk, the Everingham bros. Benetton coloured car.
I think it went to the Canaries (Spain)?

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.
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?

Chris Deering's is a turbo version.

I also recall seeing a yellow square arched car with red wheels and a dino engine at a meet in the midlands area .... Only saw it once !

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 think the Castrol car owners were Tim MacCawley and Marcus Hope?
I did see John Whalley's 8v Turbo car Guy. See here:

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

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.
