Default Emigrated to Canada with Amazon need Tony Barrett

Hi i emigrated from the UK to Ontario bringing with me a number of my cars including my 68 Amazon 132 (photo below), back in the UK it was the first car i restored i was dealing with a really helpful guy Tony Barrett who sorted me out with a bunch of good advice inc lightening the flywheel etc and sold me a really nice exhaust system.

Because of the 15 year rule i couldn't use my range rover i also brought but had to use the Volvo - did pretty good - Anyhow after a number of years ive stored it under cover as i wanted to replace the leaking head gasket on the B18b i managed to score a B20F with 8 bolt crank so i need to get hold of Tony Barrett as his info proved great 10 years ago so i want to rebuild this motor with B21 pistons and all the toys - not an issue now as i run a garage and have access to 2 excellent machine shops

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Cheers

Dom

I don't know if this Outer London telephone number is still relevant for him, it was in 'Classic Car Mart' - Tony Barrett, London, 020 8525 7283
