I have just read that Brian Ricketts passed away a couple of months ago in hospital.
He was the engineering genius behind Richard Lloyds cars and continued his work long after Richard moved on to other projects, this included keeping GTI Engineering going under the name of BR Motorsport.
In March 2008 Richard Lloyd was killed in a private plane crash, he was on route to the Nogaro Circuit in France with David Leslie to prepare Apex Motorsport's Jaguar for the upcoming FIA GT3 season. Shortly after, I was on the case with this car as it made me more determined to keep it alive.
I have recently got hold of some more info on my engine and will post shortly... Sadly it doesn't help me a great deal if one day the need to fully rebuild it to spec comes around.
