According to this site - http://www.thoroughbredsportscars.net/wp/?page_id=... - he races or has raced a TVR Griffith.

I'd like to get in contact with him as it has been mentioned he has also raced a Daimler SP250 with quadruple Webers - http://www.dlcentre.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1...

'Some years ago a SP owner named Roger Connel successfully modified an engine to take 4 Webers. He made an entire new manifold for the application. He raced the car for a couple of seasons quite successfully, and I think the car went to Norway for a while.'

Any help getting in touch much appreciated.

Roger is in poor health these days (not for discussion here, I hasten to add). He sold his Griffith over a year ago to Tony at Hexham Horsless Carriages, so Tony may be the best person who could get in contact with him.
