Hello
This Thruxton presents some details which can let me think that it could be the bike i owned when i was young. Bought new in July 1967 in Paris,solded in August 1968, to Mr Manfred Gossbaier, who attend the 1969 Bol d’or with it.
If somebody has more information on this bike to confirm or not , or knows he actual owner,please let me know, i would be happy to be in touch with him,and give more informations regarding the bike if it is really my first Velocette.( i rode my thruxton in several races in 1968, photos,…)

They just don’t make them like this any more. It baffles me that no bored millionaires have re-started Velocette and started building bikes like this again for a whole new generation.

Damn now you tell me!! After watching my hero Geoff Duke take all on at Oulton Park I
was planning ? as They say “in your dreams” to be the new owner of the Gilera 4 ah well I only had about Four Pound Ten left after the races anyway, but boy that machine sounded great!

It’s pictures like this that fuel a magical feeling of impending joy, like one has as a child on Christmas eve soaking up a twinkling tree, the satin ribbon on a big box reflecting red and gold…
