Yes, that name is instantly familiar to me! I had Shell test cars frequently! It was a really good perk! Free car, free fuel (because it was on test) If you DID run out, you had to leave the car right there! It was then picked-up by "Shell Research" and trailered back. We would be amused to here who had misjudged the range over the week-end and would have a joke with them! I also had some very potent cars ..... they were testing axle lubricants and wanted cars with a high power to weight ratio. I'm thinking hard, now, of exactly what I can recall about your Father. It's a pity that I don't have a photo of him ...... I definitely know him!
