    Unfortunately even I do not have a spare copy of Ralph Watson Special Engineer as otherwise I would send you one. As it happens I loaned the last one I had, to be never returned. :-)

    Trevor, your article in electronic form is on the favourites bar on my computer, I have a look every so often, met Ralph a couple of times when my mate Lyle had his BSA Special and we shared a house in Herne Bay, he was a friend of my Uncle Eddie in his NSCC days

    Just scrolling through this, the " Austin Healey " thread, as have found some stuff and making sure it hasn't already been posted when I came across this comment - a reply to " Oldfart " Rhys Nolan about Trevors book and link.
    The book has recently been updated and republished I got my copy just the other day.

    A good read - stories of the cars and their Histories and of Ralph - plus lots of Technical information.

    Thanks again Trevor
