[QUOTE="BlackLightning998, post: 3860, member: 109"] All, If my MPH reading is correct, this Friday, 04th April, sees the 9th anniversary of Ian Hamilton losing his life whilst doing what he loved, racing his Egli Vincent at Cadwell Park. I thought one way of remembering Ian would be to start a thread where those of us with memories of Ian can post, maybe also add some photographs to the Photo's section. I've got two or three in old fashioned format that I will try to have scanned and posted this week. My Dad and I knew Ian in the 1970's and early 80's. He was the reason we joined the VOC in Scotland and ended up with a 1952 Rapide. I have bought that bike back and own it again today - so this Friday, 4th of April, I will take it for a run and remember Ian Hamilton, that strange pink jumper he liked to wear over his riding leathers and the super Egli Vincent that he often had at the front of the racing pack. I also read in older MPH's that at least a couple of the new frames he had designed for Comet engines were due to be produced - can anyone say whether these did in fact get onto the road and are they still in use today? So if it wasn't for Ian I wouldn't have the Rapide or be in the VOC today, thank you Ian. Regards to all Stuart [/QUOTE]

Verification
The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
