See the current issue of MG World for a full discussion of the Costello
V-8's, including some words from Mr. Costello himself. He does mention
showing one of his conversions to the factory folk, but he doesn't
mention not being paid for it.
I have no financial interest in this issue of MG World, since Philip
excluded my Running Report this time around :-(
Even worse, I had to buy my own copy! double :-(
