Mathos if you want to see them they are in the gallery under TSR2s file or around no 25 in from recent uploads,
used to drink at the Inn at Whitewell in the early 60s, the then owner had a Facel Vega HK500 quite a rare car then and now, French built with a 6 litre Chrysler engine, |
That's quite a collection you have TSR2. In fact it's a bloody outstanding collection. The Tiger Cub, just to initially mention one of them must be a specimen and a half. Well they all must be.
I trust they are well stored and greased up etc. You surely do not keep them out of the UK do you?
I tried to find your photographs of the same, but have obviously to learn how to master the Teak-Door Gallery.
I'll try again later.
You hardly ever hear a throbbing engine like The Rocket, Shooting Star or any of the bigger bikes you have mentioned today. They 'whine'
There was something very special being astride such bikes, blasting down the A49 to Lil's from Jennings place {Thorntrees} or Anne's Café at Leyland.
This is unreal, never thought anything would come up for Lil's Café.
