[QUOTE="Old Bill, post: 77749, member: 1683"] Many thanks Len, l will make every effort to get a copy. The racing achievements of Vincent "names" are well documented but info on factory personnel is somewhat patchy to say the least. David Bowen please could you give us some background on Ted Davis, l know he worked and rode for Vincents in various capacities but what was his background and do you know what employment he took after the factory closure? Something tells me he and Paul Richardson worked for Borg Warner (automatic gearbox specialists) in Letchworth in the early to mid seventies when at the time l was working for the metropolitan police engineering department at the time and spent time liaising with BW technical staff whilst modifying the gearboxes to withstand the rough treatment the Police drivers were giving the gearboxes and l seem to recall there names cropping up, mind you it could be the dementia kicking in! Thank you all in anticipation. Bill. [/QUOTE]
