Sorry about the lack of updates but in the meantime I came across this video, so I'd thought I would share....

the piece on Royale starts at 18 mins 30 secs.
Great bit of film.... I wonder what the 'secret' new car was??
I think the Sabre was launched in 1994 and in the film they say that about 200 had been built, so they were shipping about 1 kit every week!!
The chap featured is a now committee member of the Royale Owners Club.
