I found Roger Duttons son posting info on here and wonderd if he could shed any light on what happened to the Triumph powered kneeler I sold to Roger in 1970.
There was 4 of us all racing kneelers in the Cambridge area in the late 60s and for all of us it was the most exciting time, all over so quickly as marriage saw the racers sold as often happens.
Paul Wright has searched for his RGM 725 Triumph too but drawn a blank.
I built mine from scratch and it was one of the first if not the first to use mini wheels back and sidecar with a 16" front.
It had RGM fibreglass, a Seeley double drum front and linked minikin rear and sidecar,
Gearbox was BSA RRT2 with a Norton Atlas clutch. A unique feature was an AC fuel pump mounted in the top of the gearbox.
The chassis was nickel bronzed Renolds 531 1 1/4 17gauge.
I can remember every detail as if it was yesterday and if it still exists I would pay whatever it costs to get it back again as I would love to race it once more.
Any info great fully received.

Re: Roger Dutton 1970 Triumph outfit
Me again
Roger raced my Triumph outfit for a couple of seasons and also at the Isle of Man in the early 70s, I found it in the results here.
Really would like to know what became of it, if it still exists would definitely be interested in buying regardless of condition.
Does anyone remember him racing it, he told me it handled and stopped better than the BMW..........I will get my hat and coat.
Anyone
