Sinclair’s shed sale

-

Mike Sinclair, for many years the technical genius behind the Kenny Roberts GP team, is now back in native New Zealand and having a clear out of his collection. “I have a 1964 250 TSS water cooled Bultaco and a 1964 Matchless G85CS moto crosser for sale. Both are in bits and have been since the mid 80’s. These were to be restoratio­n projects but I got side tracked into completely different sports and the ‘restos’ never happened. Our home was a write off in the 2011 quakes and I’m in the process of clearing out, and moving on. The Bultaco was raced until 1982 and is all there but has definitely been well used. The G85CS came from the states and was a tatty old thing. It has the G50 steel flywheels and rod. I also have a set of Motocourse annuals from the first in 1976 until 2001 for sale also – 25 in total. I collected one each year that I was in the GPs.” You can contact Mike for more info at Mikesincla­ir1@yahoo.co.nz.
