I've been in the club since the mid 60's at home and overseas and am now in the Chelmsford Center . The Venom Thruxton represents that latest restoration project , acquired following Stamford Hall 2001.
It was manufactured in the middle of the VMT series in May 1967 and shipped to the USA where it is shown as first registered in 1968 on its ( West Virginia ) registration. It was re-imported to the UK in 1989 and was stored in non-roadworthy condition to 2001 ( another bike from a barn ). It is now back as it should be, has UK registration for 1968 and is back on the road. I have the GP carb, but for ease of set up started with the Mk 1 concentric which also came with the bike, it starts well ( if flooded well ) and will tick over nicely when warm .
