Hi Alianco, An interesting story about the bronze head tiger you had. Great story, particularly about your travels and the Post war Brands Hatch history. I often look at this site and enjoy the comments about `is it or isn`t it a bronze one. Please don`t scrape heads with a pen knife, particularly if the owner is in the near vicinity!!!!!. I can help you with some of the history. It was indeed swapped for a dismantled HRD Vincent, a series A Comet that was accidently discovered in a municipal dump at Hayes in Middlesex,found 2000, cost £40 and swapped two and a half years ago. I am very pleased to inform you that FBP 627 is alive, taxed and MOT`d and well cared for up in the Chiltern Hills. Please leave message as i am very interested in any historical details of this machine. You may well be able to sit and ride this bike again if we can arrange it. I will try to post photo of what it looks like now and i have a copy picture of it with siamese ex/p and Brooklands can that was passed onto me.  Regards, Biggles
