Correct!
Who built it though (you've mentioned the names of the owners of the manufacturer)?
Locked for your reply.

always had it listed as a HCS, but now looking again,  it would seem to be by a company called B&B Manufacturing, another change to my database! I think I'll start again

Did the car use a proprietary chassis, engine, gearbox and running gear?
