.....unless you bought the black one off someone called Roger as well

Yes, a great shame: I always rather liked that one.

Anyone heard from Roger? I hope / trust he's well.

I'm sure he posted briefly a couple of months ago.

Actually just checked it was about a year ago.

I believe Roger is running a Turbo JZR (Morgan three wheeler !)

Hi Barry,

We see Roger quite often and he is fit and well. They have not long moved into the new house they had built so he is busy getting that all sorted/finished off. He still has his 3 wheel JZR which keeps him out of mischief.

I may well be wrong but I think his old car is now in Belguim awaiting a full rebuild.

It was a turbo, now normally aspirated, you can't get the turbo's anymore apparantly.

Hello all

Yes - still here lurking from time to time. As Steve has explained - been a bit busy with the new house and now in the process of giving the JZR a makeover - sadly without the turbo now as I've devoured three in the last 6 months and they're just not available either complete or spares for same.

The replacement engine is a tweaked normally aspirated massive 496 cc V twin which we expect to generate about 65 BHP, a little down on the 90 BHP from the turbo. Still, I guess there's always nitrous.........

Regards
Roger
