Yes! You got it in one. It's just a case of knowing where to look. He built this car when he was just 19 years old.

Just an enthusiast who writes books as well as holding down normal jobs. His books are published by Veloce. He was also in the past the secretary for the Reading branch of the 750MC. (BTW I've just noticed that he never raced that F1200 car!)
