Anyone know?

This outfit was at Croix en Ternois last weekend with a French crew - seems a bit far from home!

The Name on the fairing is Westbridge Motors who appear to be breakers or parts suppliers On the fairing is painted "Rider - John Brett". Thz engine is a Yamaha 650 twin but I suspect that the original was probably BSA orTriumph Disc brakes are now fitted front and rear with seriously over-engineered hangers and torque arms. Unfortunately I did not get to speak with anyone from the team so can anyone identify the outfit, Westbridgee Motors or John Brett :?:

I had a word with them at Gedinne a few years ago as I`m from near Northampton which is where Wesbridge motors still are. They bought it from that guy quite a few years ago, and have never changed the paintwork! It did have a Triumph in it when I saw it.
