Ups, didn't realize that the first info also came from the HP.
But I'll take the chance to say hello to all after being only a reader here up to now.

I'm a bloody Kraut who sometimes dresses up with a Highland kilt (connections to the Black Watch RHR), so can it come worse?? :dance:

Tony..Mike..thanks very much for those links. Its been a long time since I saw anything of this project, and I'm amazed just how well its turned out. Of course the fact that he skinned it with aluminium explains why " From the outside, you would never have guessed it was plywood on wooden frames". Gawd I can be dim at times. :roll:

1927 Brough Superior and 500 Manx Norton. Here's another pic of the Manx and a road-going Brough with a sidecar.

My mate and I have been trying to locate a pic of that sticker for years as we wanted to recreate it. And thanks to Brooklands - now I can!
Ian, you should've asked as I've already got a pretty good image that you can use if you want. I know of two people already who've recreated these stickers, the one on G-ARVM may well be from one of them.

As for the Lancs, the black one is a 'backyard recreation' and the silver one is indeed linked to a Discovery documentary. There's a bit about them here: http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=86091

Hi Ian. I did recognise the Manx Norton. But I was especially curious about the one up on the bench in the eighth picture down. (Blue tank, girder forks, no engine.)

The Brough is a classic.
