Good pics - I'll pass them on. The yellow Roadster was built by Ian Hendry in Witney, finished mid-'80s. He sold it to someone out Colchester way I think around '89-'90 (last seen painted black, without the grille insert, in a little pic in Street Machine). It was originally the body for Tony Romano (?), then Paul Reece from Swansea. The black original Jago T next to it was built in about '72 I think by a local guy, now a (retired) Isle of Mann resident and bike racer Dave Madsen-Migdall (sp?). Another Witney resident, Dale Edmonds, bought it and rebuilt it again in mid-'80s. That had a Daimler 250 V8, and after Dale sold it in the early '90s it went to Liverpool and elsewhere. It now has blue marbly interior, metallic blue paint, Ford V8 I think, and Centerline wheels. It grew a beer barrel tank at one time too (in fact re-grew one as that was what was on the back when Dale bought it).

Green Onions is still owned by Ray Turner (25 years next year). He bought it from Ron France (Stitch) in black, who bought it from Micky Bray in orange.

I'd guess at '87 or maybe '88, Mid West Cruise-In?
