The final batch of pictures from the Vintage Revival. Happy memories from a month ago.
 |
| One of a pair of unusual Puch 250 two strokes. This one had been modified for racing post war. That megaphone looks loud! |
 |
| And here's the original spec one. Look closely and it is a very unusual bike. The crank is in-line with the frame but to avoid a bulky and crunchy car type clutch a la BMW the clutch is in the rear hub. |
 |
| And here is the Puch's clutch. External band brake on the right side, clutch on the left and the actuating mechanism is a scroll acting on a pushrod that goes through the hollow rear axle. |
 |
| 1930 AJS R7 with Brooklands history came down from Norway to be displayed. |
 |
| An unusual feature on th AJS is the front brake cable that goes through the fork tube. Neat. |
 |
| ABC race car. |
 |
| 1904 Griffon 500cc Paris Madrid racer and Simplex |
 |
| 1900 Lamaudiere et Labre 230cc |
 |
| Singer Motor Wheel from c 1902. |
 |
| Excelsior 1919 board tracker replica comes with ready made patina. |
 |
| Gorgeous inlet over exhaust v twin Rudge Multi. |
 |
| Perfecta Rigal racing tricycle from 1899. 760cc, a side by side motor but perhaps could be called a very early, if not the first, parallel twin? |
 |
| Unusual Hurtu tandem - the frame is made from light gauge small diameter twin tubes. |
 |
| Lovely veteran Alcyon v twin. Early French manufacturers seemed to have been keen on well made but poorly designed rocking front forks. A step up from veteran Triumph forks that were poorly designed and averagely made! |
 |
| Early veteran Peugeot restored in race spec. |
 |
| Not sure of the marque but this ladies cycle is hugely unusual. |
 |
| A leaf spring stands in for the saddle tube and the remainder fo the frame is a casting. It looks heavy! |
 |
| Mouth watering 8 valve Koehler Escoffier v twin. |
 |
| The Koehler Escoffier in all its magnificence. |
 |
| Finally, from the bike park, I really liked this Kawasaki W650 based chop. |
