British detectives hunting those responsible for the Ealing Bomb say they have received a good response to the e-fit of a man believed to have bought the car used in the attack.
The man paid £425 sterling in cash for the grey Saab 9000 turbo at a car dealership in Ilford, east London, on July 19th.

Metropolitan Police e-fit of the suspect

It was later packed with explosives and detonated on Ealing Broadway in west London.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "We have received a number of calls. Information from these is now being evaluated."
He refused to comment on the exact number of calls that police had received.
The e-fit shows a white man in his mid-30s, 5ft 10ins to 5ft 11ins tall and of trim build.
He has straight, mousey blonde hair and a pitted face which suggests he has suffered from acne at some point.
He bought the five-door saloon on Thursday, July 19th from Assured Car Finance Ltd at The Big Car Site in Green Lane, Ilford. When he bought the car he asked where the 406 was - the A406 north circular road.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Alan Fry, head of the Anti-Terrorist Branch, said: "We urgently need to identify this man. Where does he live? Where does he work? We would appeal to anyone - a friend or a relative - to come forward."
