    Mystery rider

    The registration of the car looks like DBD 78C a 1965 Northampton registration.
    So that dates the pics to 1965 & later, it may be a rider in the Northampton area as in those days cars did no generally stray far from there original county of registration. The trailer looks a home made affair made from an invalid carriage, an Invacar maybe.
    The rider is probably a local privateer rather than a works rider.

        Hi Intersting pics,

        The bike is a 24mx4c short stroke challenger in uk spec, Only around 32 of these were made, they were officially a 1968 bike, but some left the factory in late 67 I believe. looking at the bike it looks totally original, so it must have been quite new I suspect.
