I knew what they were referring to John. A daft mate in Japan owns an immaculate example in powder blue and has now completed an engine transplant in an equally nice light green one. It's going to be interesting to check that one out, a 20B is a much better choice. Pity Mazda didn't have it then! That such a large proportion of the few that were built still exist amazed me.
It'd be better for the info to be sent to you for another item on your blog next time.
Why, is JL our secretary? I have posted hundreds of photos on other forums but the posting format here defeats me. Unlike the lurkers I actually support and contribute to the forums that interest me and think that the 450 cars I have owned including 25 Bolwells over the past 44 years give me a basis to comment and post photos from the thousands of photos and slides I have.

Col, it may not be obvious to you but there is a big difference in etiquette between a blog and a forum. A blog belongs to one person so to be polite any material that may be offered for a specific blog should be sent to the owner for his/her consideration. An Internet forum, just like it's namesake from Roman times, is an open public arena in which any person may have his/her say without let or hindrance. Having been employed in the IT industry for many years before the Internet even existed (even using the earlier Darpa net) I've got an adequate understanding of the do's & don'ts of the 'net.
I dunno what more than 10 cars a year has to do with supporting and contributing to forums but never mind! I guess I could also supply some interesting photos from my collection too but on a blog only through the owner. Actually that's exactly why you 'normally' can't post images to a blog - only the owner has those permissions. Some blog applications now do allow the owner to grant such permission to other (specific) users.
