Owen Greenwoods Triumph Outfit in 1962 Pictures
Add Your Photos!
Thanks to Roger Kirby for this picture of Owen Greenwood’s horizontal Triumph. The picture was taken at the 1962 Hutchinson 100 meeting at Silverstone. Roger thinks he was involved in building a 4 cylinder two stroke sidecar using 2 Ariel Arrow motors with Ernie Earles. Has anyone got any info/pictures of this?
I belive i have the engine, used in this sidecar, a 1958 TR5 pre-unit, with high compression pistions & bonnie race cams, the alloy head has tubes welded in, to allow the carbs to be rubber mounted. Do anybody have any further info, I brought a Triton, in 1977, it was built in 1971, with a engine from a racing sidecar outfit, i have a note saying engine GP Greenwood
Hi,
I believe that I have a photo of Earnie Earles’s Ariel Arrow Four sidecar outfit as it was ridden by Ron Langston and passengered by my father Dougie Cooper over in the Isle of Man.
Dad passed away just a month ago and I have been tidying up his old scrapbook of newspaper clippings. I should be able to get a semi decent mobile photo of the picture if its needed.
Regards
Duncan.
Sorry, slight mis-information there. Just checked and they rode it at Silverstone in I believe it to be 1962. Photo available if required.
