Digging about in boxes i found these old pics.. Not the best pic but it's from the late 80's or early 90's. Belonged to a mate and is a Tzr250 engine, wheels & front end in an LC  Scan4 by Gary Woodward, on Flickr Not sure when this. Possibly Stafford show. Nigel Kimbers bike ?  Scan6 by Gary Woodward, on Flickr Possibly the same show. Paul Lumbs bike.  Scan5 by Gary Woodward, on Flickr Donington GP either '93 or '94. Pretty sure it is the bike on the forum header. Kevin Drayton ? i think.  Scan8 by Gary Woodward, on Flickr  Scan7 by Gary Woodward, on Flickr  Scan9 by Gary Woodward, on Flickr |

Nicks bike is being rebuilt at the moment isn't it ?(or it's finished). I actually preferred Kevs bike. The LCR shows the last V5c issued in 2005, 400cc and sorn so may be still out there somewhere. |

Isn’t it amazing how a single magazine article can remain in people’s minds so clearly? I remember reading that article when I still lived at my parents house, laying down on the front room carpet. rupesrewires.com/toms-350lc/Jon |

Cool pics 😎👍
I like the No fear eyes on rear seat unit in the second pic. Also interesting that the 7up LC is a dry clutch I take it the Clutch cover is aTZ part by the waterpump?

Sorting through the shed today, and had a quick scan through some old bike mags. Found an article on the Lcr in an old "Streetfighters" mag ! Also have the PB mag of the shootout between the 2 bikes. Great times |

I had no idea you had a copy mate. Lost mine in the move. Spent an hour last night on eBay looking for this very mag as I want to frame the cover of it. Thanks so much!
