The Birth Cert may say 75 but that must be a mistake more like 55 and a great friend to many and a legend to all have a great day Martin maybe others will pop a favorite picture of there car here to wish Martin a Happy 75th Birthday.

I think he was smiling politely and wondering how anyone could have such a messy engine bay...

Going off topic, I didn't find time to ask you about those wheels. They look fantastic, but are they modified TVR wheels or something else that looks like Vixen alloys?

Another photos close up for those who didn't see them at Donington.

I may be wrong but they look like TVR Fins that have been machined down interesting never seen before

Yes they are Vixen alloys that were fitted to the early M's with the fins machined off.It was done by the original owner.

This is what they looked like before I painted them to simulate the original look.

I was going to look for another set of Vixen alloys but the more looked at them the more I liked them.

Thanks for that. I was assuming they had been machined down, but that must have been a helluva job. I think they look great, keep them!
