Owned by John Lawes, this very rare 1938 R51RS is fitted with an ex Otto Kolle prepared engine. When raced as an outfit it had the distinction of being the first non-British machine to win the VMCC race - starting at the back of the grid, it led by the time it exited Gerrards Bend at Mallory Park on the first lap.
