European website says 1 J Shanes,2 A Appleton ,3 J Wright. James unbeaten all day.

Just seen traffic camera pixs for the road outside stadium. Big shame ,but well done to the new management for the absolutly correct call.Now hoping for better weather on Mon evening.

Re my earlier,I have found some engine numbers.For the ex Reg Wilson I only have the number ,which is 3225.The others are 3190 P DOHC and 3214 PLPS DOHC.You may be interested that an early sohc engine has 2081 QPLS,whilst another sohc says 3204 P DOHC! Probably this last one was altered and had a different top end.I never could sort out my Ps and Qs. I think the pushrod engines were TLPS or HLTP.Perhaps someone out there knows or understands these choises of letterings.

Hi to anyone interested in this subject. Unfortunatly I cannot answer the question of "how many were made"as I have been told some were sold as complete engines and some as kits to put onto single OHC bottem ends.Near the engine number on the DS crankcase the history of the bottem end can be found,with "DOHC" or "PLPS" appearing to relate to the twin cams.I may be wrong but the engine numbers seem to be continuous ,irrespective of type,as was the historic system used by so many manufacturers. I am in the UK East Midlands,and I know of 3 DOHC Weslakes,all 500cc,one of which was used by Reg Wilson in a [Gordon May] Comet frame at Sheffield.These engines are terrible to work on,but Dave Jessup once said he had a works bike which was fantastic on the track until it went back for a service after which it was "ordinary".I suspect they lost the cam timings!
