It's John Corbyn, not John Corbin (sorry, don't mean to be a pedant.).
I think John might also have been inspired a little bit by the odd JW4 that appeared back on the hills in the early 80's.
The other thing I recall is that when I was on the 500 Owner's Association committee in the 80's and 90's, John introduced a really likeable chap who joined the committee who had had an input into the design - whether it was just geometry or the entire design I can't remember. If Duncan Rabagliatti has got any old minutes I suspect he could sort out the name.
Pic is of course, Tim Cameron's stylish example. The Camerons ran 5 Jedis for various family members in one race.
