    I wonder if they've got it running yet?

    They last showed it at the 2005 Exeter Kit Car Show.....

      I spoke to Terry recently, and they are working very hard to exhibit this car at the show this year.

            they could talk to Rob who has succesfully run a diesel Berrli for a few years.

                Agree with Ben, too late to the party.
                Are they having a stand or displaying on club's pitch?

                  Given the current 'anti diesel' stance cant think why they would go down that route. Although the 6cyl diesel motor is fantastic, power and mpg wise.
