Where is Les Tampin's Triumph outfit?

Unread post by Haynesy »

Anyone know where this outfit is?

Is was taken at Llandow back in 1979/1980, owner and driver was Les Tampin and his passenger was Darah Brady they rode with the North Gloucester club doing the RAF airfeiilds around the south West of England. The outfit was in John player special black and gold and had a Triumph engine.

Les bought it from Denis Seviuor from Frome in Somerset but later he either sold it or swaped it for a rear exit Imp from Burton on Trent. My mate Steve would be very greatful if anybody has any information on the Triumph sidecar as he lost his Dad three years ago and would like to find out more about it and would be very interested if it was for sale as he'd love to get it back into family ownership.
