I've taken them off of another forum (sorry), the chap who took them lives in China and spotted them the other day.

The gent who took those is a very well known ex-Rover employee who has had a lot to do with NAC/SIAC and is involved in a new development out there. He was probably as shocked to see that as we are....... :D
