Hi yes I can. Jeff Goodliff is my uncle and he is living in London. As far as I know he is still involved in motorsport and he acts as a consultant and regularly travels to Portugal with the team that he works for. Sadly I did hear yesterday that Harry's alzheimers has really progressed and he is being looked after in hospital in Littleborough-very sad-a great man and a great character-they dont make them like that any more.
