    Scimitar Ossa

    Some more pics of the other Simitar Ossa SCF49N being ridden by Trevor Kemp (pics courtesy of Trevor) Bike is still on DVLA last tax expired 1/3/81 and last V5c issued 5/1/81 frame number B24150
  2. David Brand of Watford had acquired Saracen by 1972. It was not David's main business I think this was selling plumbling and heating supplies, he was an active clubman rider in the South Midland Centre. The Saracen name finally demised in 1973 see https://cybermotorcycle.com/marques/british/saracen.htm
  3. I had had an ex works 125cc ISDT Saracen GJH60K. It was built for Mick Bowers to ride in the 1972 ISDT in Czechoslovakia. I bought it in 1973 from David Brand and rode it to some success in the Welsh 2 Day trial in 1973 when I won a silver and 1974 a bronze. I sold the bike to Coburn & Hughes of Luton in 1974 in part exchange for a Yamaha DT175. The front down tube had fractured on GJH60K and although repaired I felt its days were numbered for enduro work. The attached pics show me riding it in the 73 & 74 Welsh together with a pic from Don Morleys book Classic 2 Stroke Trials Bikes. It shows David Brand looking on as Mick Bowers works on the bike. The caption with the pic is wrong as it states that David Brand rode it in the 1974 ISDT (I had it by then) when in fact it was the 1972 event and rider was Mick Bowers. Bowers failed to complete the trial.

    Scimitar Ossa

    As far as I know Edgar Stearn built two Scimitars with Tiger Cub engines, one for himself KCE43F (which he still has) the second one for his friend Dave Simons PCE781J. Edgar also built two Ossa engined Simitars one for himself VER651L and another for Trevor Kemp (reg unknown). Their was also a BSA C15 engined Simitar (reg unknown) built for Malcolm Ellis.
