    I think Ms Crashe is right. My money's on Don R's Trusty Triumph, Model A or Model H. Definately Brit and around WW1.

    to these days? Or the petrol?

    And if you had to push start it there were only metal roads...

    Woohoo that'd be a bone shaker! Classic piece of workmanship - very nice.
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    That's RAC horsepower not brake horse power.

    Roughly 2.75 RAC hp = 350 cc (the old two and three quarters)
    3.5 RAC hp = 500cc , the three and a halfs

    RAC horsepower was for taxation purposes had no correlation to brake horsepower.

    i knew someone would know what it is! was thinking, if no one here knows, ill post it overseas and see what they say.

    must admit, im surprised its a trumpy!! but then, the ones from 80-odd years ago never look the same as they do now.
