Which 1950s TT? - GeoffA - 02-06-2020 [img]<a data-flickr-embed=[/img]" />" /> Greetings all - wondering if anyone can help me work out what year this is -  95% sure its a MV Agusta 4C First I thought this was the 1954 senior TT 37 was Fergus Anderson so he would be talking to Bob McIntyre. But from the Programme 37 is a Guzzi...but this is a MV 4C  so cant be 1954!  Could be Dickie Dale who was riding for MV (running under Number 33 in 54)     However Velocette did use the same forks on a special as I think MV did so I may even be wrong about it being a MV!  RE: Which 1950s TT? - bsa499 - 02-06-2020 It looks to me like one of the Ernie Earles BSA twin powered machines. Maybe ridden by Cecil Sandford or Charlie Salt in the 1952 or '53 Senior TT. RE: Which 1950s TT? - Splashdown - 02-06-2020 I would say that it's Charlie Salt on an Earles fork BSA A7 twin. I'll get the year with a bit of research. RE: Which 1950s TT? - GeoffA - 03-06-2020 Earles forks on a BSA makes more sense (good I kept the 5% of doubt!!) Other images show a AJS porcupine and a couple of Moto Guzzi... In the Senior the only race I can find with 2 Guzzi is 1954 Which was made number 27 Sandyl-Winsch with Earles forks ... on a Velocette but this isn't a Velocette! Curious
