Seeley 350cc Gold Star Replica Racing Motorcycle
Frame no. Bob Light 02
Engine no. 2810 828 121 011001 A28712.

Many-times British sidecar champion Colin Seeley bought Associated Motor Cycles' racing department when the company went into receivership in 1966. The previous year he had constructed the first Seeley racing frame to house a Matchless G50 engine, and the AMC purchase enabled him to produce complete Seeley G50 and 7R machines. Manufacture ceased in 1973. Production of Seeley frames was later licensed to Roger Titchmarsh and there have been countless unauthorised copies made over the years. Raced by Bob Light's sponsored riders David Linsdell, Joop van der Pol, and Lancelot Unissart, this Seeley Gold Star is believed to feature a Roger Titchmarsh Mark 2 type frame and a Roy Shearwood-prepared engine. The latter is a short-stroke unit with bore/stroke dimensions of 76x76mm (standard 71x88mm) and a Nikasil-coated cylinder. Other specification highlights include a Dell'Orto carburettor; oil cooler; TT Industries six-speed gearbox; Bob Newby belt primary drive; Electrex World electronic ignition; Scitsu rev counter; Maxton forks; Falcon rear suspension; 18" alloy wheel rims; and Honda disc brakes front and rear gripped by a Lockheed calliper at the front and Yamaha at the rear. We are advised that David Linsdell won a CRMC 350 championship riding this machine, and that Lancelot Unissart finished 16th on it in the 2015 350cc Classic TT at an average speed of 90.384mph – not bad for a 350 pushrod single! Re-commissioning will be required before this machine returns to the track.
