Richard Rollings wrote:A couple from Cadwell today. The outfit was a single cylinder with a 4 valve head that was only on the drawing board but the driver got hold of the drawings and brought them to life. He also has drawings for a revolutionary 1000cc Vincent that he is working on at the moment. He was giving Nick Weston a run for his money.

The second photo was well..............

I did my apprenticeship with a bloke whos brother Phil Davies used to ride a Vincent outfit, he went on to ride TZ750's I think.... It was way before we got into sidecar racing. Thinking about one of the previous comments he had a bit of Jethro look going on. Not sure if he is on the site, but he was a good bloke who lent us his trailer when we first started.

The Fast Lady was one of Malcolm Attrill's many outfits. Here is a photo taken in 1973 (when sold to Len Stevens) and also a current day photo of the next generation one which used mini 10" side and rear wheels and 16" front wheel that was built around 1965. I'd be very interestested if anyone knows any of her history. Cheers David

About 1990 we met a bloke who had a Vincent outfit,I think he was a copper and he lived somewhere in Essex,we went over and he let us take all kinds of dimensions,photo`s etc so we could build a chassis his chassis had the large oil bearing downtube which was a trademark of Attrills bikes,there was more than one fast lady and I think this was one,if you want to know more about Malcolm Attrill and his Vincents the man to talk to is John Renwick.
