Carrying this racing transport a bit further here were some of the methods used to get men and bikes to meetings.
German sidecar aces would use VW Camper vans with awnings,they had the deluxe sleeping arrangements.
Phil Read turned up at Snetterton with 2 genuine works Yamahas wedged in the back of a Ford Zodiac estate car.
Many settled for towed trailers made from pre-war car front axles.
A guy Dickinson,not Gary, turned up at Mallory with his bike in the back of an undertakers funeral hearse.
I witnessed a rider extract a 350 Manx from inside a Morris Mini Minor and proceeded to reassemble it.
The Jamathi dutch team parked next to me at the Ulster with a decrepid pre-war Renault Van to look at it you would not expect it to make the Belfast Ferry on the way back to Holland.
If carrying a lightweight bike several resorted to a channel bolted in place of the rear bumper of a car on which you secured the bike sometimes with the front wheel removed,this was a favourite method used by the Speedway/Grasstrack clan.
Those were the make and mend and get by days to keep the wheels turning
