Hello

I am trying to contact old colleagues working with us back in 1999 Launching the New Rover75 car.

We were a team from BMW / Rover, and were staying at the La Cuevaa Park Hotel,  our base was the Circuito De Velocidad, although we parked 100 vehicles at Jerez Airport, to collect Dealers from Europe and take them to the Montecastillo Hotel, and then later on in the evening, to the Bodego Domec

I remember a few of my team of ten, but only 1 surname, Sandra Donnaire (I think) who I believe was a Flamenco Dancer? Suzanne, Arturo, Kiko, Jose Maria, Antonio, Geronimo (who I think joined The Guardia Civil)

Peter de Trollio, an American who acted as the Launch Team Interpreter, he was married to a local Jerez girl, who I believe was a schoolteacher.

Last I saw anything of Peter, he was reviewing Sherries, but not sure if independently, or for various Bodega's in Jerez.

I was always singing Beatles songs, when we were valeting vehicles in the base camp.

If Peter, or anyone reads this, I would really appreciate a response.

Happy New Year to Everyone
