Yeah that's the one. A&E was a funnier name on reflection.

256 Rotax tandem 250 in an aussie square tube GP frame like an RG. Think it was something like A&E, nah that's not right. I did talk to one of the builders to try date it. Sadly it came out as not before 1983 which was a shame as not a pre82. Engine was legal. Think it was an an Armstrong when RH raced it.
Was In an NZ racing book I had with Kevin on it on grid. Gave book to Matt. Ziffle had one too. Not sure what frame he had.
Not much Bears up this way. Didn't end up buying it as I'd planned.

McIntosh Rotax, it's well gone, frame went to the tip

Pity no class for it. That said tyres were an issue unless you ran road. Had 16s but Marvic 17s, just they are too narrow for slicks available. Chain too close to put bigger wheels vs frame if you spaced it.
Started real easy if you had a helper.
But woe and betide rotary valve would load up if a solitary muppet in leathers didn't get it up to speed before jump and dump.
Took it to a track day and was a panting mess as I just made pit shute in time. Figured that was end for me not having a band of helping hands at travel meetings.
Of course later I saw the roller starts people were building.
Anyway, another time another place.

Ken's probably still got the jig, though?

20 years ago P&R still had the jig for the ally one i think he said and that was a cute little thing. Designed for TZs but could fit a Rotax with some adapting.
