In the spring of 1998 I had arranged to have a mapped ignition system fitted to the race car, a great deal since I paid for the kit and the specialist was paying for the fabrication of one off parts, fitting and mapping, more than 1/2 the normal bill. The benefit to him was the ability to sell an off the shelf kit in the future.
The address I was given was in Shepreth (Hertfordshire I think). Turned up as arranged and the place looked somehow familiar despite never having been there. It was a disused station and at the end of the buildings where I unloaded the car off the trailer were probably 6 Borgward Isabellas in various states of decay most with roll cages/bars fitted.
Then the light came on in a deep recess of my memory. The well known Vauxhall tuner and race car builder (he built the famous Big and Bay Berthas that Gerry Marshall raced for DTV) had premises at Shepreth known as Station Works. Before he became involved with Vauxhalls he prepared Borgwards and what I parked next to was the grave yard.
The guy I was meeting confirmed my thoughts and in fact told me he rented the works from Bill Blydenstein who was by then working from his garden shed still porting Vauxhall heads.
