By the way, I have a copy of a 1924 P.V. sales leaflet with a wet-ink stamp for a company called Jillings and Ranger, who were in 11 Balham Park Mansions (tel. Streatham 3295), and I recall a reference to a TE Ranger as being P.V.-mounted in one of the big road trials of the day.

Maybe this is the other man in the postcard?

Sorry for resurrecting such an ancient thread but it saves me some typing.

My grandfather used to sell the PV from a shop somewhere around the Sydenham area and was involved in the 1923 and 1924 TT races along with other ‘trials’ like the London to Exeter in 1922 with my (great) Uncle Reg – RC Crawford – on a 976cc PV and a colleague on a 349cc PV ( I have an ancient postcard with his almost unreadable name) – J E Ramfre maybe??

I also have an original 1914 catalogue !! The Perfectly Vibrationless or, due to my Grandfathers vast intake of alcohol, also known as the Pub Vehicle within the family was something of an innovation at the time although I have no idea how well it sold but the catalogue shows quite a number of silver and gold medals at various local trials from 1911 to 1914.

So… does anyone know where I might see one other than the Motor Cycle museum and the odd one online?  Maybe in private hands?
