In addition to the Mechanical Elephant article, I am involved in conjunction with Alan Hitchcock on a second major article for that issue which should give a lot of us much food for thought, but for the time being, I could do with some allsorted contact details in order to make this article yet further better for you all to enjoy..... So all help me now & you'll get something good, but be quick becuse time is ticking on to the deadline.
Besically, I require contact details (email addresses possibly best) for the following persons;
Martin MacKeever
Whoever it was in charge of Tri Tech in the mid 1990s & was buying up micros at that time.
Phil Bowler
Heather Brothers
Theo Dudd
Jan Van Sttraton
Nick Mander
Alan Evans
Dave Golding
Mike Milverton
Mark Philpot
Nick Poll
For privicey reasons, it might be best to send me their details reither via a personal message from this forum, or email me direct on invacar@yahoo.co.uk
Much Ta in advance, and remember, its all going towards producing a better article for YOU!

I see you are still ferreting about Stuart, this time on the computer. Hope the head gets better. ::)

I think Nick Poll now lives in France, you might be able to get contact details for him from Julian Nowill who runs the USSR. .... the Unloved Soviet and Socialist Regiter, their editor is Mike Stevens, edward@stevens8197.fsnet.co.uk
Jean may also have contact for Julian

Thanks to more than a few, the old email is pinging away with contact details already. ;D Keep it up folks, its all for the good..... :-*

Right then, I've now got a name for Tri Tech, being Rick Edwards. Alas Tri Tech themselves no longer seem to exist as regards the phone number I've just tried. So once again, anybody know his current details?

This was posted by a Schmitt owner about 18 months ago on the TriTechSchmitt Yahoo group:
I believe that he has returned to the more lucrative and straightforward business of restoring motorcycles.
One of the things that Rick and other kit manufacturers experienced was he could either work on building kit cars or he could spend his hours talking to people on the phone about maybe buying a kit. Very few of those conversations actually result in a sale. It sounds like Rick has decided to just quit doing anything that has to do with the Tri-Tech.
So I can't help - quite a few people seem to want to contact him, but no-one's succeeded.

Add also Adam Quinlan to the "wanted" hit list as well.....
Of Tri Tech, elusive indeed is our Rick, seeming to have vanished without trace. Suddenly my new avator takes on new meaning already! ;D Of the Tri tech details on this internet thing, I was quite suprized to see that they appere to have only produced seven Scmitt's. Pity, I fanced one. :'(

About 60 Tri-tech schmitt kits were produced, many went to Japan and the USA. About 20 stayed in the UK, 6 or 7 of them being sold after the 2003 SVA legislation for 3 wheelers came into force. It appears the standard TT rear brake system fell foul of the new SVA requirements.
Post 2003 Schmitts require rear brake modifications to pass the MOT. Try rickedwards2@ntlworld.com

Interested where you got your figures from? Would mean they are pretty rare cars in this country?
