These engines are now possibly lost in the mists of time, but it was
my privilege to shoot this footage in person, long ago in 1992:

Sadly, Wim Hoek is no longer amongst us. His engines are on dispay in
the Duch National Car Museum in Raamsdonksveer:

Hi Ron,

Thanks for the update, I did not know that.

Rumor was at least some of the engines were stolen and never
recovered. I am very happy these gems still live on!

I will add this information. Thanks again!
