This machine is one of several projects purchased by the vendor in 2020 from Roy and Peter Richardson, both successful Isle of Man racers. Restored over the last two years, the vendor still had a few minor jobs to finish at the time of consignment, which will be completed by the time of sale. The engine/gearbox unit was entrusted to another distinguished racer, Bob Jackson, to rebuild; this was completed with Carillo rods, straight-cut gears, new pistons/rebore, electronic ignition, new bearings etc., at a cost of £2684 (handwritten list and bill on file). The T20 has not been run since completion, so will require commissioning and safety checks prior to use on the track, where it will provide the new owner with a period mount for parades and track days. The last two digits of the frame number are obscured by welding, on reinforced rear engine mountings. Documentation comprises the engine work receipt and some invoices.
