Where have all the Bourne bodied cars gone?

Happy New Year,
I believe I may have an early Bourne body S1 though I haven't found its body number plate yet.
Elansprint71 is correct:
Twincamman has passed (June 12 2020) after stuggling for a few years due to multiple strokes
Gary has gone off the grid, but is still doing well and is still driving his BRG S2 regularly.
Cheers to 2021
Andrew

My Bourne body S1 had its number plate in two locations. One plate on the firewall inside the engine bay and the other embedded into the fiberglass in the boot. A number of people have told me their Bourne Body doesn’t have the number in the boot, so I’m not sure if it’s unique to only a few cars. I sold this car last year, the new owner may want to add more detail.

Sorry to learn that, I noticed he hadn't posted recently. Quite a character and was banned a few times!
RIP Ed.
