Yeah. Christchurch, NZ, man, died about 1991. Relations threw all his stuff
onto the dump without realising its importance. Created stir around 1975
when he announced he & his mates drove a mini arouind Jersey Island @ 35km
per litre. Allegedly offered $500 million by Arabs to buy and shelve his
invention, he refused.
Jersey is also a heavy tax haven, big money floating around there. My
intuition is that his partners were threatened as well.
