Happy days when the race paddocks didn't have huge transporters This was our race team Equipe Ardup three schoolmates their own road bikes .and transport The J type Morris wasn't taxed or insured and only one of us had a provisional car licence .Traveled to most race circuits and camped overnight just loads of fun and a few trophies.
Note numberplate we're hand painted as stickers were just becoming available. The van was hand painted with the odd remark stencilled on the sides . Never we trobled by the police though one time the gearbox packed up at the top of a hill with traffic lights that had a policeman directing traffic.. going to Cadwell .. A spring on the gear lever had brocken so repairs with the inner valve spring of one of the Triumphs while I stood in front of the made up tax disc as the Copper kept comming over to check on us. We made Cadwell on time but race results weren't that great..
We are still in touch with one and other reminiscing the aHappy Days
