WARBIRD

 

The wonderful Vincent Warbird photographed at Santa Pod in the early '70s by Dave Blamey who now lives in Australia. So many good things in this photo.
  I did a bit of Google research and swiped this equally good image from around the same time.

 

The bike was built and owned by Robin Ditcher and ran a best time of 11.7 but was hampered by clutch problems. Robin apparently still has the engine.

Source of info was the excellent Acceleration Archives

SPRINT SPECIAL

Triumphs were always great 1/4 milers, its after that the trouble starts.
