Can anyone tell what happened to Melchester Racing following their late 70s early 80s team in Aurora F1?

I know that they were running a highly modified Austin Healey Sprite (Sebring Replica) fairly recently

There was a plan to run Aston Martins in one of the GT classes with David Morris and Paul Ringer driving. Tony Trimmer may have been involved as well............

From what I recall from the press around 1977/1978, Tony Trimmer had a mystery sponsor who made sure that Melchester Racing had a decent car for him. Does anyone else remember that story?
