So, what is the block/head. If it was built 50+ years ago is not Japanese. Twin o/head cam...looks interesting. Could have trouble getting all that HP onto the road with those skinny CR65's.

Re: prescott hillclimb "coldwell" twin cam
Anyone ever seen one of these before? a Coldwell Engineering & racing waterslide transfer.
Looks to be genuinely old, and I doubt many were made. I Bought it off Ebay a month or two back and just found it in a pile of papers.....
Keeping it for the day the Mink comes back to me........

Talking of the Coldwell twin cam, moves are being made to entice it to a certain Mini track day.

Nice T shirt well done.
I got a nice old JanSpeed sticker, its super thin, and sit between 2 pieces of paper.
Could have been nice with a T shirt with that logo.
