In the late 80s Mart moved from Essex to Lancashire. (The Rossendale Valley, just north of Manchester) Mart took it to a few events while up here. The last one being York Raceway In 1996 . Where it won Best Custom (thats where these pictures where taken).....Martin still has MACABRE ..sitting in his garage a bit dusty and in his words "looking a bit sad".. But it still runs.. And he does plan to rebuild it. (hopefully soon).. To as original condition as possible . After all it is an original 70s UK built Streetrod and part of our history.. And it will be 30yrs old next year....
