Has anyone come across an A series tuner called Les or Lez Ryder. Probably working in the mid 1960's could be either UK or Aus based.
Any info is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark

Les Ryder. Built some quick engines, worked alongside Don Moore on occasions i' was told ( ETCC XJS Jags). My dad bought a MK1 Cooper red/white years ago off Brian Rainbow who was amongst other things Terry Kaby's co-driver. The car was £500 quid (
) mint brocade including factory recliners, it had a full house 1293'S' in it, works H4's etc, built by Les Ryder, a very , very quick car ( once we got the clutch working), he was from the Leamington Spa area if my memory is correct, used to advertize in the back of Car & car conversions in the late sixtes, and was featured in there i think.
