Julian Webb knows how much we love this stuff on ukdrn and has very kindly sent me the pictures of something his dad Roy has found after having a bit of a clear up :)

When he first bought it he didn't think that it had been ever been used.
It came with two superchargers mounted on it, one for each cylinder but they found it was
just as quick with only one!
It was ridden for Roy by Sean Cormack-Walsh.
It hasn't seen daylight for about thirty years and needs a good clean although that just how I personally like to see these finds.
The engine turns over and nothing is sized or broken so all being well it will be another one for the
Dragstalgia
If anybody has any more info or pictures then please share or contact me.

Not off the top of my head Jon unfortunately. It will probably take a lot of research to find out its origins.

Well look at those :) it certainly looks the same Kelvin, what do the others think?
Do you have a year for those shots.
That's Roy in one of the shots 8)

The race numbers on the leathers appears to be the same as in the pictures originally posted with temporary numbers in the later pictures...

With Roy himself in the shot I think it quite conclusive.
Well done Kelvin.
Now does anybody know any of it's history?
