SORRY: CLASSIC TRIAL MAGAZINE, ISSUE 37

Well, it had to happen one day. In we unfortunat­ely duplicated the introducto­ry paragraph from page 88 in our ‘Classic’ reports to page 92 in CTM 37. We can only apologise to all our readers for this error. Here is the copy that should have been published. 1971 Kickham Winner Martin Lampkin (250 Bultaco): As the youngest of the three Lampkin brothers, Martin had served his off-road apprentice­ship well and became a top trials rider in his own right at the age of 20. A move to Bultaco in late 1970 at the Scott Trial would last right through until 1980, providing a decade of success for himself and the Spanish manufactur­er. The hard work was rewarded with the top titles for the man-and-machine combinatio­n in the motorcycle trials world: European Champion 1973; FIM World Champion 1975; ACU British Trials Champion 1973 & 1978; Scottish Six Days Trial 1976–1978; Scott Trial 1977 & 1978 and numerous other titles and wins. This huge success story with Bultaco all started at round three of the 1971 ACU British Trials Championsh­ip, the Kickham Trial. Along with Alan, his older brother, he was still riding the older model Bultaco 49 Sherpa sponsored by Jim Sandiford as other riders had the new model 80 ‘Kit Campeon’.
