The thread on John Surtees mentions the 24TFS (HPU124B) that was loaned by the factory to John. Apparently there were two others loaned to 'star' road racers of the day. The other two being:
JWC48C to Mike Hailwood - untaxed since 29/10/86 was with a GRA member.
BTR51B to Phil Read - untaxed since since 1/8/89 is it still around?
HPU124B the Surtees bike is not listed on DVLA so may be in shed or collection somewhere or has been re registered & lost its id.
Did the factory ever recall the bikes or did they stay with the riders to be disposed by them at some later date?
