This is Simon Frankau with the Quasar he rode at the 2007 gathering. Tragically, his own Quasar was very badly burnt in a fire earlier in the year after a six-year restoration and over twenty years of ownership. This red Quasar is 002 and was previously owned by the late Nick Roche for many years. At the time this photo was taken it was owned by Mark Crowson but it was later owned by Andy Tribble and he sold it to John Cooper. It is now owned by Gavin Newell, son of the Quasar's co-creator, Malcolm Newell. The charred remains of Simon's Quasar were bought by Mark Crowson from the insurance company.
The pale green machine alongside is Steve Van den Berghe's Ecomobile. PNB
