I cannot recall the guys name but I think he was Chinese. Maybe. The lab was a pretty small place. 500 employees.

This has to be the same car... Not Chinese, however. Jim Eaton.
I've looked him up, but sadly, don't think he's still around.
Aside from the weird issues I've probably created myself, this car has clearly been babied.
I mounted one of the name tags in the trunk as a sort of homage.
