Hi I do have photographs and have been trying to find someone to scan it for me. I rode the BM in the75 TT with Pauline Goddard in the chair but can not remember if your dad rode that year or not.Roger always had very nice turned out outfits. Does he still have a Rennesport?

Is it the Rumble BM that Brian Rostron was involved with ? Built after the oringinal was crashed at TT.

I'll Check with Brian.

Brian sponsored Colin Hornby and Mike Griffiths on a Rennsport Bmw on which they did several GrandPrix in 1969. The bike was crashed and Derek Rumble built a new frame for it in 1970. Things did not work and the bike was sold on. It was last seen fo sale in Hornchurch area sometime in the 80s by Brian. It is believed this was the only BMW built by Derek but I've not had chance to check this out with him yet. If you could post some photos of your bike i'll show them to Brian and see if its one and the same.

Hi Yes this is the outfit because I bought the rolling chassis from Colin in I think 73. I have been trying to attach a photograph but without success. Pauling Goddard rode at the 75 TT with me and it was sold on to Jack Trustham who I beleave put a Rennesport engine into it again before selling it on.
