"I want to see how fast this car can go." You"d like Ian Warhurst. In fact you might well have him to thank for the continuing operation of your car. His company, Melett, made spare parts for turbos, and as the demand for turbos boomed over the last 15 years, so too did his company. He sold it 18 months ago, "and I thought I"d be retiring, tinkering in my garage [he has a couple of pre-war Rolls-Royces], walking the dogs. I knew I"d get involved in something else, just didn"t think it would be this soon". TG: So why did you get involved?
