Kjell Qvale was the De Tomaso importer in the 1960s and brought all of the 
250 Mangustas to the USA; he later was in the joint venture with De Tomaso 
for the aborted 'new' Mangusta project.

He's 92 years old and still sharp as a tack.   He still goes to work every 
day at his dealership (British Motor Cars in San Francisco).   Among other 
things, he was on the small team that designed Laguna Seca.   He's truly a 
legend, and I look forward to reading this book.
