Don and List

The details that I could obtain about the skatecar built in the UK are as
follows.

Created by Colin and Mervyn Oldham in Coventry England. Built in 1982. 
Engine is a 750cc two cylinder Triumph Bonneville motorcycle unit with five
speed gearbox driving the rear two wheels.  Frame made from TI Reynolds 531
tubing.  Bodywork made in glassfibre reinforced plastic (GRP).  Support
given from the Coventry Metal Bars company and Strandglass.

Not too much more to add to the previous mailing but an interesting exhibit
in the Coventry Transport Museum (that is free to enter!).
