I came across a marvelous old book, originally published by Bruce Main-Smith in 1986 which would be of interest to most 50s & 60s enthusiasts. It's called
British Scrambles Motorcycles - the men and their machines.
Captioned by Ralph Venables.
It consists of archive pictures ( over 220 ) from the 50s & 60s. There are lots of photos of Greeves, Dots, BSAs, Rickmans, various AMC bikes, plus photo features of the riders of the day, (Eastwood, Bickers etc). Even features sidecars.
I would think it would be a useful resource for budding restorers, even though it's black & white, as the photos are close-up with good detail.
It belongs to an old friend, but I'd love to steal it, it's that good.
