Anyone know where Jack Levy is now ?

Unread post by Helvetia »

Some of you oldtimers 8-) (ok, some of US oldtimers) may remember the Unorfordox, a wide, white thing built using a Ford engine, by Jack Levy in about 1967/1968.
I was just sorting Rudi and my old albums out and came across a couple of pics of Jack and I on the Unorfordox down in Lydden. I tried to find Jack several years ago via Ford in Dagenham but they had no trace of him. Does anyone know what he's up to these days ?

I added some pics but unfortunately can't see them myself because I don't have the right permission...

So don't blame me if they're actually pics of Aunty Ada's wedding and nephew Billy's christening .... :lol:

Just found this rarity in a box of old slides - Unorfodox actually racing, Snetterton 1975, going into Russells (the proper Russells).

Can confirm that Jack worked at Ford's R&D plant at Dunton ..........
It is true about the sidecar family - you can stop racing but you can never, ever leave!

Can I use that pic on the front of the site? I'm sure there's a lot of the youngsters have never seen Snet without the chicane :D
The year I rode the solo (1986) the chicane wasn't there, when did it go in? 88/89? Sorry, offtopic now..

Hi Steve, feel free to use it where you like. I have more from the early 70's club racing at Snetterton and Brands and might turn up one or two better ones of the old Russells, unfortunately not with Jack in the frame. Even got some Hutchinson 100 when it was reverse round Brands and the stars of the day used to turn out for it (Ago, Read, Enders etc).
