As promised, I've attached some pictures of our beloved Klipspringer.
It was built in 1960, when the new 750 trials formula was announced - with the help of a neighbour George Cropton (who gets a mention in the 1963 Beaulieu program). It was yellow, as in those days, the 750 MC had group colours, and the North Herts' was yellow and black. And I thought the rubber tyre rear mudguards were a genius idea. Don't think I ever saw that on another trials car.
I'm going through memory overload, at the moment. And Klipspringer was perfect for family fun.
