Phil Read Replica Test Going Free

[Lynx]

Hi all,

I recently acquired my latest restoration project. A 1986 Honda VF500F2F. Whilst going through all the paperwork I came across some pages torn out of the November 1997 Classic Bike magazine. It's a 5 page test of the Phil Read replica owned at the time by Mike Rendall and tested by Phil himself. See pic attached.

Free to the first replier who would like it.

Cheers
Lynx

I look after Phil's website and am sure he'd be interested in this article. At the least, I can get him to sign it for one of the PRR owners here.

Hi Steve. I wouldn't be surprised if he had the magazine but if you'd like it, please PM me your address and I'll post it off.

I doubt it.
He has loads of old photos but doesn't keep magazines.
To be frank, he always says he was stuffed by Honda over the PRR. That's why they had a bust up and the "Honda Britain" was borne.

Hopefully you can find a copy of the mag on eBay.

I'll get it signed, scan it and send the original to Peter (haynes66)
Articles like this should stay with the bike (and I sold mine a few years back)

Phil signed the front mudguard of mine. If you ever see one like that you'll know it was mine.
