It was not arranged by the OC, but by the Enthusiasts.
I was able to attend as well, Richard Woolley mentioned, among other things, that the 75 was the car he was the most proud of over his entire career, or rather the one that had a special place in his heart, as it's the one project that stayed true to the original sketck and vision all along, all the way up to the finished product 5 years later. And as he mentioned, this is rather rare in the industry, as compromises always have to be made...
The other reason for the 75 to be so special to him is that the project allowed him to meet his future wife, who designed the colour trims for the interior.
