My name is Michel DESPREZ, from FRANCE. 
The photos shows my 1969 Thruxton. Rebuilt in 1982, I bought it in 1998 and fitted out a Veeline fairing and a single racing seat.
I am now 58 years old, and I mainly ride my Thruxton on French circuits, via demonstrations like "Coupes Moto Legende", "Ton up meetings", etc.
I rode my first Thruxton in 1967 ( 38 years ago!) and did some races with it.
I sold it in 1968. After a 30 years long break, it has been for me a great pleasure to find again this wonderful machine.
