Title: Solved - MJW #586 - Morgan SLR on fire at Silverstone 1975 - Sir Aubrey Brocklebank driver

I took this photo many years ago (plus some others showing the outcome).

For a point can you identify the car on fire, the circuit, the year and the driver?

Is that a Morgan SLR?
I understand that one caught fire at Silverstone in 1975

I had to google this one, and the outcome is somewhat surprising:
Sir Aubrey Brocklebank "the chairman of the UK's third-largest bingo hall owner Top Ten Holdings"

That's the man, well done.
He was lucky that the fire marshals/trucks were quickly on hand.
