The Place

Ray Wilson did build a centre hub steering S 800 ENGINED Chassis but it was never used, and yours truly bought the chassis and fitted leading link Forks. Hub steering banned in CRMC. Stan Stephens used a Honda S800 I believe.

We cant all be perfect Mike.

Why is it then whenever the welsh are mentioned Sheep come to mind?

Alan, There used to be one running up here
Was built & run by Sandy Bloy of Bridge of Earn, sold to Brett Mitchell who used to give the tz,s & imps a good run ,Kenny Andrews will remember,ended up in Jim Taylors hands and think he replaced engine with a bike motor

Mike, No cameras, unfortunately. Good to see a "Celt" producing such wonderfull work, albeit in England!!

Cheers for info John, bit before my time though. Peter used to be sponsored by Sandy Bloy in his solo days, he knows him quite well,will get him to see if he can dig up any photos I think the history of sidecar racing in scotland needs some investigation. Time you wrote your memoirs.

Kenny was down today Bob, he never had A S800

Thanks Mike Duff info from many years back then, must erase from memory bank

beautiful ! nice to read more people got involved in the classic races !

Stan Stevens did indeed race a S800 Honda, with good success in the 70's.
Johny Vines also built one that he rode 1973-76 (I think that's the correct years) his passenger was Jim Pooly.
They both sounded great on full song!

Mick McGinley has an S800 outfit which he has owned for about thirty years now.

I think Mick Mc G ran it at the VMCC 1000 bike last year

Saw Mick at the festival walking round

I recall the Sandy Bloy S800 around about '74/'75 time. It sounded beautifull when given a handfull.
