Yes, did a google on him this morning. 12 books in all and not expensive. Feel a treat to myself coming on soon!
Wish I could illustrate that well, wonder how long each takes?

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
Is that a Woodford and Pickett Keith? Deseamed, escort mk1-esque headlights etc. Also the glass to body ratio looks off, but think that might be because the wheelbase is longer, so I am talking myself out my first guess and now think it is a glass fibre body maybe? How am I doing?
Looks to be on Cooper steels though….

/\. /\. Indeed. All steel, mildly roof-chopped and a wonderful example of 1960s UK modifications. Love it!

I always wanted one too - closest I got was a Radford Cooper S that I bought as a restoration project (but never finished due to numerous break-ins/thefts at the lock-up where I stored/worked on it).
Neville T was a very talented man who was involved in a huge number of innovative projects - I met him a few times in the early '80's through John Jobber (boss of GP Specialist Vehicles in Isleworth) when I was building an early GP Spyder ...

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
Ogle Mini. Cool.
Neville was a quite a guy - slightly eccentric (like all good designers) and very multi-talented. As for John Jobber (Baldy, to me) - he was a great mate of mine and we came close to going into business together along with Barry Treacy (Treacle) of Wolfrace fame, starting a shop to cater solely for Golf GTIs back in 1979 or 80. Haven't seen JJ for several years and miss his humour. But I digress...Lightweight_911 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 14, 2022 5:21 pm .
