Hahahahaha, I bet you all thought that you had seen the last of this piece. So what if I'm the last person in the UK (the world maybe!) to get a photo of it!

The finished product to emulate the original advertising shot in the 1980`s to mark the launch of the mighty Hesketh v twin.This is almost an exact copy of the original.I have no idea who the original model was and no one else seems to either.
The engine is actually two Weslake speedway engines grafted on to a common crankcase.
Many thanks to the lovely Jerry for all her work on this shot(and for being the model)
Special thanks also to Bob and Meg,the owners of the wonderful Hesketh V1000.

The project was inspired by Lord Hesketh, who planned to revive the failing British motorcycle industry and at the time had a background of F1 racing being the last private team to win a Formula One Grand Prix, with James Hunt at the wheel. Lord Hesketh wanted to use the skills and facilities built up in that pursuit to greater effect and production of a quality motorcycle was born.
The Hesketh motorcycle was developed on the Easton Neston estate, with the prototype running in the spring of 1980 using a special Weslake engine. The V-twin V1000 (based loosely on the marketing panache of the Vincent Motorcycle), offered all sorts of advances; for example, it was the first British bike with four valves per cylinder and twin overhead camshafts (although commonplace in Japanese machines).

Alledgedly one of the first (if not the first) proper graffiti "pieces" done in the UK. 3D (aka Robert Del Naja) was a member of The Wild Bunch who later evolved into Massive Attack.
I remember making a little pilgramige to see this as a snot nosed youth in my mileta jacket and pumas with fat flourescent laces in them....from that weird indoor market on Kingswood High Street, with Electro 1 pumping in my ears on my brick sized personal stereo no doubt! (or maybe I got my dad to drive me to it on a sunday - it's all lost in the mists of time!)
I'll go and get a shot of what this place looks like now in due course....
