Do you know who "John" is?

Please have a close look at this car's Mazda 13B rotary engine installation, and tell me if it looks familiar:



Six additional photos of this car appear here: http://www.britishv8.org/Triumph/John.htm

As you can see in the included note, the owner/builder apparently (maybe) lived in western Canada.

I'd like to update all the cars in the photo gallery with full "How It Was Done" information. At the very least, I want to get owner first and last names for each car. If I can't do that much, I'd just as soon delete unidentified images from the gallery... Can you help me? Please?
