I saw his car only once at the Rockford VTR in 1995 (or was it Hudson in 98?)
and for the originality purist he is an anathema with his Ford V8 distributor
(with four posts removed) and his TR4 steering rack and all the other
modifications he has done but to us engineer-minded folks the beauty of the
execution
and the good sense in the selection of the parts he used is truly remarkable.
He got my vote.
