Thank Tony for the thoughtful and informative reply.

Do you have any pictures please of the 750 special you mention that you are planning to sell - sounds interesting, and probably not on your website if you are thinking of the auction route. The historic 750 formula (750 Trophy) race folk would be interested too: https://historic750formula.proboards.com/

Alan - glad to hear the red No37 Ulster rep in my pics is still going strong albeit with a replacement trailer. I bet the tow car Maestro is away too!

Nice videos of Douglas Anderson hillclimbing his home constructed Hamlin special in Scotland: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwR9vlSxhCU
& https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYgNPnWH5yc (one video is of a test evening)

I agree that we do not want to wipe out or forget the special building culture in all forms, not just swb Ulster reps and Ulsteroids, but Hamblins, Cambridge specials, Super Accessories, DIY body designs and modifications etc etc

Best wishes
Mike
