Wilkinson

This is the Wilkinson four cylinder, shaft driven machine that was filmed for the Top Gear 'FF special' in 1988 at Wroughton aerodrome. The chap who owned it very kindly unhitched its usual sidecar attachment especially for the programme. After the filming I had a quick spin on it and it felt as if all the decades of sidecar use had permanently bent the frame. What a great design for 1909 though! Some models actual had steering wheels. I'd love to do the Epsom-Brighton Run on one of these! PNB
