FWIW - I did meet Roger Albert once when he handed me 3 bottles of champagne - the prize for successfully guessing the power increase of a car (probably an Escort) on the new rolling road installation at TC Harrison in Barnsley (I think it was). That was way back in about 1971 when I was an active member of the Sheffield Students Motor Club. (Incidentally 2 other Club members got the second and third prizes of respectively 2 bottles and 1 bottle of champagne. That was quite a party later as I recall !)

Presumably 'mechanical problems' means there was no interior/ glass / anything else useful left!

Shame for Jerry.. I saw video footage of the car on test a few weeks ago and it was literally flying !...
On the RAC he had engine electric issues prior to the fire which put him down on performance for the first stages... then it appears a high pressure fuel leak onto the coil... He sent 1 photo of the blaze from inside the car just before they managed to stop.. Hairy to say the least !..main thing is that Jerry and Sinclair are both ok

Adam Milner and Roy Jarvis were going well last time I looked.

From a seeded 122 this was indeed a great drive by Adam and Roy !
