A couple of hundred metres from Tippetts is the John Cooper racing factory, in which the world of single seater racing was changed in direction to rear engined cars.
Jack Brabham also near there, but a couple of miles in opposite direction, the connection too with Colin Sealey managing Brabham F1 team for a while, and building a few Honda engined bikes :)

Tippetts was always worth a stop and look whenever I passed by. Nigel, Is the old Cooper factory now a Police Traffic Station?

Lord Litchfield together with his son both purchased new Triumph Daytona 900's in yellow from Daytona Motorcycles in Ruislip back in the late 90's. It was splashed all over the local paper at the time.
Has the CB750 ever surfaced since in was sold at auction Ash or is it locked away in a collection. That is an excessive price though, was it really worth that much or was it hyped up? Auction houses are guilty of hyping things up and inflating prices although obviously a bike is only worth what someone is willing to pay. There was a BSA Rocket Three listed in an auction recently that was owned by James Bond. It had sold previoulsy for big money but since then had been modified with an electric start, it didn't reach anywhere near the reserve this time around.

Is that 161k all in or do we still need to add 15% commission and then Vat on the whole lot. That would bring it to 222k.

I was up and down to Tippetts regularly in the early 70s. Biggest stock of Honda spares around.
