I can vaguely remember their garage above in boherbue area ,the world of 135/165 and 168s sold by them .A fair share of mechanics learned their trade there, around what year did they go wallop and what was the reason .I presume it was around 1980 as there would not have been any 575 or 590 locally where as there are hundreds of 135 etcA pure haybob machine View attachment 78774
