Indeed, the selfsame guy.   And one of the greatest guys you'd ever hope to 
meet.

He has two GT40s by the way--the silver one is a Safir replica of a Mk II, 
powered by an aluminum 496-ish stroker 427 FE motor.   The red one is the 
last genuine GT40 ever built; it was constructed in the 80s by John Wyer using 
leftover parts from the GT40 project.   Ronnie Spain (GT40 guru) has 
pronounced it 'original' in every respect--built by the original builder, using 
original parts, just built a few years later than the previous ones.
