Kyffin Sapphire 1966

 A real obscurity here. The brochure for the Kyffin Sapphire range of Villiers powered off-road machines.

Roger Kyffin had a shop up in Cheshire and was a prominent scrambles rider. He made several specials based around DOT frames with Triumph or BSA engines and then from 1963 to 1966 produced the 250 Moto-Cross and the Red Rose Trials with Villiers 250 engines. All of his machines were known as Sapphires.
