Alan Morgan should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
That's not Gordon Spice. Hmm - who used to do handling kits in the 60s/70s?

Mac Pherson's brother in law or may be Henri Georges Ackermann himself being a Brit cousin of Jeantaud? Michel Koni or Helmut Bilstein?

I keep Tony Law's Irish cousin, the best steel exhaust manifolds on the planet! Cheers to this famous unknown Gordon's relative!

I didn't actually say "handling kits" I said "make your car look and handle a little better" I did notice that a number of Tenther's are friends of his on a well known media site come on have a good think
PS I have just seen lotustwincam has mentioned his name but which one ? Mr. L Weller? Mr. J Rossiter, (spax) ?

At last a "spark" of commonsense, thanks Iain! In the Spa thread I see you know who pulled the plug…

Is he Flint Toe-in who married Marguerite Under-Steer? Or vice versa?

Karl Glass, inventor of the clear windshield?
Tom Toolatebro, grand father of Hab Hestos and son of Ness Presso who both wrecked the good breaking?
Fa Khir who discovered the heavy rate spring, a business knowing some pics in activity?
Or is "he" Mae West after she retired form the bra business?

Take care Iain, this picture has just been taken at the border when it was discovered that the guy in question was travelling with one Atlantic spark plug in his suitcase!!!

Last night was a wonderful beverage, John, the one with bubbles… So today, water only! When you're not used to its strange!

Gordon, is he Dagenham Dave? Or may be the stunt man dedicated to Beaker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XuJz7Alc5I
Or more likely the Danish voice of the Swedish cook:

Moot moot!

I thought it may be Lev Footbrakin at first, but his theories led to my Spax damped Weller wheeled minivan going through a hedge backwards. Did nothing for the handling or appearance.

Footbrakin! You talkin about "the" Footbrakin family? Dont ask if I know! I do remember two sisters, Pad and Segment. May be related to the Japanese Fair Odo or the the American Mean Tex? Surely the same!
