[QUOTE="Tom Gaynor, post: 6503, member: 4034"] [b]JP[/b] And JP is of course Joe Potts, sponsor of Bob MacIntyre, and whom I knew quite well. He was also very keen on vintage Sunbeams, particularly Model 90's. A very shy man, Joe tended to allow the light to fall on others, but in fact he was the "tuning genius". There was a time when it seemed that a large part of Glaswegian engineering talent was contributing, possibly unknowingly, to the Potts pursuit of faster bikes and cars......including a desmodromic motor. Next to me in the paddock at Chimay was Richard Adams, who had an F3 racing car (JAP engined) in a trailer for an event elsewhere.
