1982 500 Ascot. This bike endured a long hard life on the road course as a WERA E-production,  E-Superbike and Clubman racer. Here it is seen in its first season as an E-Superbike. It had a White Brothers 541cc engine and Pipe. The year before it was the #1 E-Production Ascot and 2nd overall at the National Finals.

Eventually this bike ended up with a front end from a Suzuki GS700E, and a 38mm Mikuni Powerjet Carb.
