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 !
Here's a couple more:
Bob Walker's old Hawk?:
'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:

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.
