Lovely Ford V8 Pilot.

The police used these as back in their day (launched in 1947) as there was a lot of power to be had from that V8, and the luckily, the Pilot was a right hand drive model!

Nitro doesn't add power, it multiplies it! Bob Loux, running 10.07 secs @138mph on a 650 normally aspirated Triumph drag bike in 1965!

Unusual design feature rear-end Studebaker.

Lotsa metal-work curves, lotsa glass-work curves too.

A rather rare and tidy 1933 Raleigh with Sturmey Archer engine and gearbox. (Hillman Minx in the background)

Girder forks supply the front end suspension as this was the era before telescopic forks. Rear suspension is by the flex of the rear tyre's sidewalls, and rider comfort is courtesy of a couple of bouncy springs!

Andy's photo shows the handlebar arrangement where the cables route their way through the bars (as opposed to being out in the open), a trick that gets used in the custom-bike build scene 80 years later.

Many folk know of Sturmey Archer having grown up with their bicycle hub-gears.
