He thinks that he constructed about six Reliant based 3 bearing engines.
Mine was originally built for Kevin Martin.
He mentioned that he also built one for Alan Wragg.
So by my reckoning the original customers were
Kevin Martin
Eddie Marriot
Andy Storer
Alan Wragg
Frank Hernandez
????
Apparently he has recently been in touch with a Nippy owner who has one of his 3 bearing engines fitted.
The Reliant engine supplied to Alan Wragg was fitted into single seater replica AW Mk3 012SR in 1983. Alan decided on this engine as he wanted to use it as a road car, registered 850 MRM. He used the car extensively, even travelling up to Scotland and back - no mean feat. The car has been totally restored and is now in the possession of Adam Wragg, Alan's son. I saw it a couple of month's ago and it looks splendid.
