I admired him from afar and had forgotten that he was into TRs until reminded yesterday. There is a nice piece from Wayne on fb about him. Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cooks Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 https://www.readingzone.com/authors/benjamin-zephaniah/ Benjamin's passions include... renovating old English sports cars. He owns a 'mixed race' TR7 'The engine is from the racing version of a Dolomite Sprint, the running gear is from a Rover V8 and the interior is done out in the Ferrari Boxer style'. 'When I really feel like freaking people out,' says Benjamin, 'I take the car down Green Street in East London, where there are gangs of guys posing with their BMWs playing heavy dub, and I blast out George Formby.'
