3 Rare Additions to the Museum ⭐️⭐️⭐️
We have 3 rare new additions to the Museum to show you today! 🏍
After a successful trip to Ledbury in Herefordshire for a motorcycle auction, Sammy is excited to show you his acquisitions, which will now be re-homed in New Milton!
In order of appearance..
1. 1929 Francis-Barnett 196cc "The Brooklands Flier"
2. 1952 Ariel Square Four Mk. 1
On display in the Museum for over a year, this machine is now undergoing a cosmetic restoration through Jim's meticulous work and unrivalled Ariel expertise!
3. 1929-30 Calthorpe Speedway Motorcycle
4. 1930 Norton Speedway Motorcycle (one of 52 made in its only year of production)
5. 1949 AJS 7R "Boy Racer"
The same bike that Sammy rode to glory in the 1954 Cookstown 100 at 20 years of age.
There are some anniversaries that Sammy doesn't mind celebrating! 70 years on since his first major road race victory, he was very happy to don his racing leathers and put the 7R through its paces again 😄
We hope you enjoy this feast of the senses! 🎇
By the way, we now have new Limited Edition T-Shirts in stock, available to buy from our Online Shop: sammymiller.co.uk/shop/?orderby=date

    Never thought I’d disagree with anything bike related that Sammy had to say. Acidic soldering flux should never be used on Bowden cables. Capillary action will draw the liquid acid into the lay of the cable and no amount of rinsing will remove it. Always, always use a passive soldering flux.
