My late Father purchased a Black Shadow series D in 1964. It was a Mike Creamer rebuild and had a brass plate on it saying it was rebuilt by him and dated 1961. He had a Busmar Astral sidecar fitted and it was our only transport from 1964-late 70s - we even had a tow bar fitted and towed my Trials bike around to meetings in the mid 70s! I would love to know if it is still around -it was sold to Conway motors in the 80s and I could possibly fill in some history for the present owner. Also how many bikes did Mike Creamer rebuild? we found out later that it was in fact a Rapide engine.
