Sir<\/p>\n
Having just spent six very pleasant weeks touring the UK, I wish, through the pages of MOTOR SPORT, to thank the many kind and warm-hearted people who made my visit such a memorable occasion. I also seek the assistance of the readers to help solve a puzzle, a puzzle which has aroused intense curiosity!<\/p>\n
On Sunday, April 1st, whilst sightseeing in the Midlands area, I spotted a beautiful metallic green car. This car had a black vinyl top and was about 25 years old; it was parked near to the Black Country Museum. In the rear screen was a large printed notice, extolling in great detail, the virtues of this “unique experimental automobile”, a “genuine Green Machine,” as the owner described it. Because of the date I thought the claims made were part of an elaborate hoax and out of curiosity, I took a photograph of the notice. Since then, however, I have examined the developed shots, and am now convinced that the owner of this car has been independently carrying out thought-provoking and in-depth research for at least the past 11 years; particularly in the field of ozone and environment friendly fuels. Because of my professional involvement in automobile research and development I am keen to find out more about this car, about its owner, and particularly the enigmatic owner and the message it conveyed.<\/p>\n
So who is the mystery man? How does he define his “Minat Projects”? Since 1979 he claims to have used a fuel that is “considerably cleaner and far more cost effective than modern diesel or lead-free petrol engines,” “exceptionally low HC, CO and evaporative emissions and F2\/R2 ratio.” What is the latter? But perhaps the most intriguing question of all \u2014 what is meant by his statement: “The stefotes syndrome is not progress”?<\/p>\n
