Montjuic country find

[LaverdaIan]

Mate of mine found this little unit during a road trip down south Oz this week..
Interesting MK1 seat unit and side covers, MK2 tank and fairing and extra oil feed to the head..?
Must be a history to this machine.. any takers..?

That would be at Braidwood Mueso........?

Uncle Ven had had his fingers on that, raced it in a past life!

Maybe Birdwood?

I was going to the museum at Peterborough over Easter but ended up consorting with some Dutch relatives in Tanunda instead.

What is the machine in the background? Villa?

 

[LaverdaIan]

Back to the actual subject.. hey Hooksey, thanks, any more information about the bike, the head lubrication set up, Uncle Ven's exploits..?

Strange spot for a couple of yellow wires to go into, or out of. There’ll be a story to that.

 

[LaverdaIan]

You are right Chris.. I thought may be starter motor drive but does look a little unusual.. mind you for those that know Ven unusual kinda comes with the territory.. anyone remember the burn out machine, what a unit that was..
looking forward to any other news or obs on this bike..

 

[hooksey]

Ian,

Cant shed any more light from a technical perspective. Obviously set up to get more oil to the Cams.
Those yellow wires be just heading down to the alt.......
I do remember it use to make ya ears bleed trackside........not unlike his road going Alpino
