the standard model J had coil ignition while the JM model had magneto ignition. First time at this show.

40 years ago. Restored in 2004 and used fairly regularly ever since.

1948 and supplied by Redhill Motors in Brighton as new. Flogged to death by myself and my brother in the mid to late sixties when we'd passed our tests. It was then used as a family hack until it just gave up in the early eighties. By then it had been all over the UK and the Continent. Rebuilt by my father a twenty years ago, but never used. Now re-commissioned, it still has a Redhill Motors of Brighton brass plaque on the rear number plate.

1948 Norton P6A Prototype 500 Pre 1950Bike Details: This motorcycle is the Jack Moore Norton Prototype 500cc twin, which Bracebridge planned to

put into production in 1948. However, it proved too costly to build and was shelved in favour of the Bert Hopwood design which became known as the Model 7. The engine in this bike is one of only two surviving Jack Moore designed engines. The shelved production bike was intended to use the same frame as the ES2. However, this required new engine and gearbox mounting plates, plus modifications to get the primary and rear chain alignment correct. All these issues were overcome in the Bert Hopwood design. First time at this show for this extremely rare machine.

1949 BSA Bantam D1 123 Pre 1950 LightweightBike Details: This bike has been totally rebuilt, using all original parts. An original aluminium headlight with

Based on the Speed Twin, the TR5 was a trials machine designed for off-road use with a high-level two-into-one exhaust and good handling on public roads.We've had her for over 20 years & it's taken me 2½ years to restore her, a complete nut and bolt rebuild.This bike was a finalist in the 2014 Classic Bike magazine Bike of The Year competition and was displayed at the MCN Show in London in February 2014. Not bad for a garden-shed restoration!

project was cancelled in 1964 when AMC moved Norton to Plumstead. The engine is now housed in a 1965 Norton N15CS frame, as the original frame used for testing was a Norton model 77. An extensive amount of parts have been made to complete it. It's now running and is only one of two to survive, the other also in my possession. This bike is unique, and the only one of its type in the world. It has the twin-carb head, electronic ignition and an improved breather. Featured in RealClassic magazine.

1959 Moto Rumi Formichino 125 1950-59 Lightweight OverseasBike Details: Moto Rum were textile machine part manufacturers before the war, then made munitions.

After the war they began making motorcycles. The two-stroke flat-twin proved very successful, and was nick-named the 'little ant'.This bike originally belonged to my late father, this scooter has a 125cc air cooled twin cylinder 2-stroke engine.

bike in 2010.

1960 BSA A10 650 1960-69Bike Details: Still replacing whatever falls off! Ridden not hidden, used but not abused - a bit tired, rather

like the rider! Used regularly, enjoyed trips to Wales and France last year'. Now having had a complete engine rebuild she is ready for a busy summer. Unchanged from the original with the exception of 12 volt lighting.Still ridden regularly, the rebuilt engine is running sweetly. Time now to spend some time on a tidy up!

1960 Greeves Hawkstone Scram 246 1960-69 Lightweight CompetitionBike Details: The cycle parts were restored & the machine first road registered in 1980, when purchased by

the current owner. Major restoration of the engine & gearbox in January 2010. The barrel & exhaust are from a 1963 Challenger, otherwise original except some unobtainable tinware. Factory records show the frame number 60/1491 was supplied as a trials machine to Commerfords. However a GRA official has confirmed that it is a Hawkstone Scrambler, and clearly saw hard competition in its early years - any info on its history welcomed! Took part in the 2013 VMCC Dorset Week - excellent smiles per mile, and now even more since electronic ignition was fitted!

1960 Greeves Scottish 197 1960-69 Lightweight Competition / SpecialBike Details: With the same family since 1976, it was last taxed in 1977. Rebuilt in 2019 by the owners and

now as good as new.




1960 Matchless Pluto Oil-in-Frame 646 1960-69Bike Details: The Pluto is an experimental oil-in-frame design by AMC and was named after of PLUTO, the

famous oil pipeline under the English Channel to supply fuel to allied-occupied France during WWII. The code-name Pluto stood for 'Pipe Lines Under The Ocean' or 'Pipe-Line Underwater Transportation of Oil'.The frame was constructed in the Plumstead works experimental shop around 1960, and internal factory memos suggest that there was a manufacturing cost-saving when using the OIF design. Over ten years later, BSA/Triumph introduced road models using the OIF design, but they proved unpopular with some riders due to the increased seat height. It's fitted with a late G12CSR 650cc twin-cylinder engine and gearbox. First time at this Show for this prototype machine that never went into production.

1960 Matchless G12 CSR 650 1960-69Bike Details: This bike has undergone a complete rebuild and repaint. I owned one in 1960 and rode 60,000

miles on it in 5 years, including three trips to Monza in 1961, '62 and '63.First time at this show.

1960 Norton Dominator De Luxe 500 1960-69Bike Details: This is a rare model, that was only made for two years. In original trim, it's one of the first
