I will as Daph to enquire with some of the older statesmen on her annual pilgrimage to the Skegness 16 inch wheel dinner next week.

Alan Banbury rode it, report live from Daph at Skegness.

Thanks Daph

It was Frank Godfrey who came up with the name Jim

we had a lovely evening meeting up with some old friends, and the meal and venue was great as was the guest speaker Peter Hickman.

First time I remember XL5 was 1964 at Silverstone.

Meanwhile, back to topic ....

Paul is right it was Alan Banbrick, not Banbury as mention earlier
