Hi Gene

Terry Hoyle is still around, but the business went broke about 2 years ago.
They (the liquidators) were trying to sell the whole deal as a going concern
but I am afraid that without the great man at the helm it would, in my
opinion, be a waste of cash.
The work they turned out was a dream! but at a price. The stories behind it
tell of him indulging himself with all sorts of toys that brought about the
collapse.
You should see the tiny swb Ferrari fitted with the big engine from the
larger cars. In case you wonder, this car vanished during the night, as did
several others that belonged to Terry, the staff were told to park them all
in a certain building , which they did, they then left work and returned the
following day and they were all gone! <grin>
Some other time remind me to tell you some more stories about Terry, the
real guru of the twin cam Ford engine.

John
