any clues on where it is now? are they ABE wheels or something? from memory Steve also built a monocoque three wheeler maybe for Kim Steadman?
one also wonders what ever happened to the monocoque TR500 chassis he built for Keith Turner in 1972
how many peoploe wished they'd kept something, reality time space and money means it's go to go to fund the next mission
That chair is interesting on so many levels - as a lot of his work is. I'd pick front and rear wheels as yamaha - 18's of course.
The bars look like the prototypes for the Warlord....
If the Turner monocoque got overseas, best to assume it's scrapped. Unwanted stuff just got left behind from what I've been told.
I tried a few times to track it down, I stupidly sold it in 81/82?, Don Cosford the original owner was keen to see it kept on the track racing, he came round home and said (coerced) that he had a keen young fella who wanted it, I have been told his name was possibly Hamish Lothian, I asked if he still had it via the speedway site on FB, but no response, but have heard it was cut up and had been altered quite a bit to accommodate a Suzuki power plant.
You may be right - the only alternatives I can think of would be pommy CMA wheels.
The outfit probably came about because Cosford came into possession of a hot CB750 engine and it wasn't competitive in roadracing....
I still owe Don a bottle of Bourbon for kindly providing a chillybin as a vomit container when i got crook at Manfield.....
