You definitely should have been in the "standings" as posted by GGP.
Completely aside from your FE achievements, building the Porsche to run on diesel is a win in its own right.

I almost wrote that it was truly a triumph, but some Brits might not appreciate the remark.[/QUOTE

Thank you very much!

I really don't know how the results are scored, do they grade against what each car's EPA rating is? That would of course be a problem for my car as it not only pre-dates EPA ratings, it actually pre-dates the EPA it's self

No problem though, we had a great time and would love to do it again. Next time with (of course!) further mods. I'm thinking -- skinny tires on my old steely wheels, under car pans, and 4 wheel skirts. Maybe something like this --

And for Triumph?? Not a bad idea, perhaps a GT6 with a 1.9 TDI lump?
