The Brit engine in the Maico frame looks like an early unit 350 or 500 Triumph (distributor mounted behind the barrels), mounted at an angle and some hacking about applied to the gearbox.
Also, what happened to the Ariel's tank? Looks like someone dropped a brick on it.
The Brit engine in the Maico frame looks like a Norton... in my opinion
No, definitely a Triumph. I'm with Harley, I'd say a 3TA or 5TA.
the rudge is purdee...
Re the Rudge, you try building it for £5000.00
