Title: Any idea what this engine is?
Post by: Dave2006 on April 16, 2012, 10:00:32 PM

Final photo from my father in law's possessions (see also http://www.classicmotorcycleforum.com/index.php?topic=4187.0 & http://www.classicmotorcycleforum.com/index.php?topic=4186.0 & http://www.classicmotorcycleforum.com/index.php?topic=3907.15)

I've no idea what this is, he raced bikes, cars and carts in his time, but this definitely looks like a bike and it looks special... any suggestions?
