There was a write up in Classic Racer a couple of editions ago about Kim Newcombe can`t remember if they new anything about the bike but might be a starting point,Mortond Media do seem to have a lot of information.

Rod Tingate in New Zeland, who was Kims mechanic and friend has one of Kims race bikes, he restored it some time ago.
Kim raced more than one bike with Konig engines fitted.
The konig factory produced and sold very many frame kits to customers as well as engines.

that magazine is really going down the drain, I got them all from nr.1 but stopped buying it about a year ago.
