this was owned and built by a late friend
it has been under an old cover for about 15yrs
we managed to salvage the front end and the motor
which is now at Readspeed having a full rebuild

We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm

it was a proper race scoot, i don't think he raced it in these colours, it used to be satin black then yellow, his name was Giles Oxenham no72
and raced for s.a.s.r.t
