Built by Sam Nelson. Very quick in their day. Willie Moore won, I think, the Esso Championship with one around 1981. I'm not sure if Nelson Engines are still in business.

Alan, I don't think so; well not under Sam's control, that is, since he did a runner back in 90/91 IIRC.

Nelson had the contract to care for the VJ engines and I wish I could remember the name of his RH man who was superb and was really put on the spot when Sam just upped and left.

They were based down in Calne, Wiltshire.
