Hi Guy's,

Yes This is the bike that Dave rode into 2 place in the SSDT of 1967. and the bike Registration number JON473E, was known at the factory as RED T1,It would be better dropping the "E" from the reg for a Pre 65 Trial. Red T1 was the first prototype , bike that had several frames in it's short career, reverting to the near standard one for the Scottish, as this was company practice,the engine also went through several changes ,starting as a D10 with only three gears then using the prototype four speed that was being developed. the factory log about development is intresting reading.

Regard's Charlie.
