The grille isn’t wrong. That’s an early model - a 100, not a 100-Six, or a 3000. Unlike the later cars it had a 2.6 liter 4 cylinder engine. A limited production 100, the 100M had louvers on the bonnet but not quite like that. It had fewer louvers and a space without louvers where a belt went across the bonnet.

Are ships allowed?
If so, HMS Belfast, between London and Tower Bridges.
Her forward battery is pointed at Scratchwood Services, on the M1.
Judging by the state of Scratchwood they've been fired a couple of times.

Some nice old bits of kit on display today, in the tent and on track, Hampton Downs Raceway, as part of the lunchtime entertainment at round 3 of our NZ Champs:

Saw Doctor Roger (Freeth) win the Arai 500 at Bathurst on that fantastic Macintosh Suzuki.

And they stuck with the two valver apparently.
Isn't there a sad tail of an early death, or am I confusing this with Posum Varn the rally bloke? One odd bit of trivia was the Canberra bloke built an exact replica of Rogers Macintosh race bike. I think you could still buy one from Ken Macintosh but the Canberra bloke just built his own. Another odd thing was that pretty modern race bike was still a twin shock.

Your memory is pretty good, Rodger Freeth was navigator for Possum Bourne and died in a crash during a rally (90s?). I recall Possum was pretty cut up, they were good mates and a good team.
Ken's concentrating on Nortons and I think Vincents possibly

Went to visit a small private collection on a dairy farm yesterday, The owner has amassed an interesting collection of Norwegian brand Tempo, many apparently quite rare to find, and also a good assortment of Zundapp’s. Obviously no self-discerning Laverda owner will fail to have an LZ in their garage…
There was also an unusual 1700 V4 Ford Capri which was in very good condition.

Is that in Stavanger? I went to a Tempo museum there, I also rode a Villiers engined Tempo all round that area, the locals were ever so friendly waving wherever I went. I went to a party where everyone new who I was
when I asked how they new I was Signe’s English freind they said I was riding on the left…..

No, it's near Elverum, but I know of the other museum. I believe they only used the Villiers engine in a limited number of bikes, so a good experience to have on your tick list.Is that in Stavanger?
