Sammy miller ended up painting the numberplates about ten minutes before the weigh in closed.
As I said, heres the evidence, don't think some of the Fantic boys were overly happy at the attention being taken away from Thierry Michaud that afternoon, but put Steve and Sammy together us brits wouldn't be too interested in a three (?) time world champion
Good pics, are the first two from 87' when Tarres won on the TR34 ?
I think they are but not 100% sure, suspicion they are from the year before when he had his police problem in the Fort for allegedly getting around town too fast (Diplomacy or what!!), if this is the same year then yeah he would have done, because the zero came out the following year??? Really not sure
Last one for now, Doug, either second or third Scottish win, sure it was the Hat Trick but can't remember the numbers, the programmes are yet another box....... Ben Nevis, last section on the Saturday, horrible section only two cleans, even Colley had a dab, only one of the Ludgate boys(Sam i think) and Doug cleaned it the whole day.
Pic 2 Ex Scottish Champ Les Winthrop, again Achlain Farm, always think this and the Saunders pic are two of the best trials pics I've ever taken, purely personal
amusing myself now really, following posts my three favourite from the Scottish over the last 20 years or so
First one, Steve Saunders first year at Fantic. This bike was a knackered practice bike rebuilt at the Sunday Weigh in as "confusion with the factory" TMX quote, meant his new one didn't turn up. Sammy miller ended up painting the numberplates about ten minutes before the weigh in closed. Sections are the top two at Achlain Farm ( for newbies it up near Creag Lundie), great group, but disappeared from the trial in the early 90's I think
Stick it on with a big reserve and a right to withdraw, gives you a couple of opt outs. That way you'll see what's on offer. I've been offered 2K for my 250 and it's not the best around, will be lots better when it's finished but some of the prices are rediculous

Big john,
was only joking about the commission, suppose the real value is seeing the bikes in the hands of people who will appreciate them.
Are Pat and tommy still down in the Morecombe area, Tommy came up in a conversation a few weeks back
