    It is the Begby special. A beautifully constructed little machine and a real credit to its owner/builder. Sorry cant provide any more details but someone will know.

    Another machine that took my eye, not because of its beautiful construction, but because its inlet manifolds were made from house-hold plastic waste pipes!!!!!!!!!!!Have never seen such a thing, and am surprised that it passed scrutineering. It was supercharged, and had a long and convoluted inlet from the blower, through a heat exchanger [I think] and eventually to the head. There were a lot of twists and turns and no doubt easy to construct with waste pipe, but................. ............ The pipes were paint black to confuse armchair critics.

    Was originally a factory JBS chassis with Triumph M/Cycle engine followed by a VW1200. Had a bad shunt and Bob Bagby built a new chassis with a Vic Simpkin 100E. Stan B has owned for 40 years and was brilliantly restored by himself and Tor Andreasson and is pure gold

    I'd like to offer my condolences to the family & friends of Len May. Very sad & we'll all miss him even if we didn't know him personally.
