Anyone have an idea where this outfit has ended up?
Belonged to Bob Philpot, sold by Mick roundabout 1979/80.
1st picture shows sidecar with fairing, 2nd is the same sidecar naked.
Thanks,

Looks like Mal White wearing the hat, I thought the one in the white shirt was Mick Staiano but I am sure he was never that slim !

Very quick in its day and the chassis was made from square tubing as I recall.

Left to right,
Mal White, Phil Spendlove, Mick, and Alan Couldwell.
Bottom pic is Bob Philpot, passenger might have been a Robert?
They finished as the 1st four-stroke home and won a silver replica in either 77 or 78.
