builder and distributor of Caterham in this country, and a real neat car I
might add, John's shop is loctaed in Standardsville Virginia just outside of
Charlottesville, he is also a restorer of many LBC classic cars frame up
variety. Susan Hensley, Brad Kahler and myself had the pleasure of a tour of
his shop and the beautiful town of Standardsville this past winter, nice day
and great company, Susan that is. <g> "FT"
