Description: | Select Guide Rating The story of one worker's time on the Triumph Production Testing team from 1960 to 1962, packed with amusing anecdotes about the obstacles associated with a tester's daily life. With guides to fixing problems still found on the 1960s models, and previously unseen photographs of machines restored by the author. From the 1950s through to the 1970s, Hughie Hancox worked at the Triumph Meriden factory in various capacites – a fitter, a member of the famous Royal Corps of Signals Motorcycle Display Team, in the experimental department (where he actually worked on the prototype Bonneville), and eventually as one of the legendary Triumph testers. |
