Andrew,
Fair enough, i was only aware of the GTR/X version. Do you know of any web sites with a photo of the GTR/X Hurricane on it? Wouldnt mind checking it out. On a separate point the HZ 12A rotary that we were talking about before were sold in japan but they were only ever as an auto and they were highly spec'd so the weight was huge. THey were quite slow and never sold well at all. As far as i remember most of them sold were a deep red colour.
