I knew of two, one Glyn Jones had until very recently which I think was the one Stuart Hall had but not sure. Was that the same one Boddice Jnr had?

That's the long outfit I remember Derek Jones riding Ian, think they experimented with some kind of 'aerofoil' type of streamlining over the back end, looked superb at the time !

I think there were only 2.
Trevor had one himself & the other may have gone to Geoff Cornes? then Boddice, Stu Hall, Andy Percy, & at sometime Dick Hawes.
Dick may have owned both along the line.
It was known as "TITS".........Trevor Ireson Threewheeled Special.

Geoff, you are 100% correct.
The outfit was an LCR chassis with the fairing developed by Trevor & Derek.
I've just been back through some Motocourse books I've got & it was the 1982 GP season.
Trevor was still riding his short tubular chassis in the GP's with Donny on the chair & still beating a load of LCR long one's :notworthy: :notworthy:

That would have been Eric Cornes I am sure, now resident in Tenerife. His son came for a chat with me recently at Donington where he delivered Eric's regards to me.
Anyhow since 1957

I am led to believe that Trevors had purple rivets, the other silver.
