MORE RENOVATION FROM OCTOBER 2008.
THE AUSTRALIAN KONIG IS COMING ?????? (Yep! That is how you spell it)
News of new renovations coming in all the time, Any photos will be appreciated as we would like to think that this site is genorating some interest among those that would like to participate, and have some old memories??
Well here it is, Imported by Ross Chipperfield, same as his father used to win the first Australian Title. Ross Tells me that is not quite right?? Dad won the titles with a single cylinder "Mermaid" which was a derivitive of the Konig.
Long way to go yet, but I am sure it will get there. Ross advises it is a 1964 model and used to develop 39HP at 8000 revs?
Twin cylinder, Watercooled, and with a lot of history stacked inside.
