I have talked to Ken on 2 occasions, one in the company of Dave Mickel,
who owns one of the few (only?) Costello cars in the US, Ken had little
recollection of how many of what series cars he had built. He could tell
some good stories about particular cars/owners though.
Ken did put a rather distinctive "V-8" emblem on the rear of his cars
below the trunk lid, opposite side from the gas filler. Also, most of
his cars had a unique egg crate grill insert in the original surround-
1-1/2 x 2" rectangles on the square, not on the diamond as later MG's.
