April 28, 201610 yr .... in The Eagle comic of the 9th of July 1960 and bought me a copy of it. Edited April 28, 201610 yr by spen
April 28, 201610 yr I had a 1959 197 Scottish as my first bike, also read the Eagle every week until MCN came out. This picture is now my on my screen, thank you for sharing.
April 28, 201610 yr Author I've got a '58 Scottish, wonderful bike. I'll ask my wife if she'll laminate a copy for you if you would like one.
April 29, 201610 yr Hi Spen, Thank you for posting this. I have a 1961 Greeves 24TDS which was my first classic bike, I have ridden it in many trials always an enjoyable ride.
May 4, 201610 yr I will send this over to Charles Coutard so he can include it in his entry pack for next years Pre 65 Scottish, unless I am mistaken, this looks remarkably like his bike that seemed to trouble the scrutineers this year...

May 4, 201610 yr To be honest, I would leave it to others to clarify why, certainly I am sure the Laird from his time in France remembers Claude Coutard riding a Greeves of similar standing. Charles rides his fathers bike, very original, or so it seems to me, being no expert . I understand and willing to be corrected, there was some issue with it and his entry got knocked back. Perhaps others know more, this was gleaned on the Classic French trials grapevine where his supporters were a little mifted.
