I remember in the 1950 s that so much was being spent on the racing program and race prototypes that their standard products were neglected.

For a long while when we were young a Matchless 500 single was our family vehicle. Kids music lessons, market , vacation trips, and of course just me tooling around. Very comfortable . only problem was heating on summer rides up to my office in Jerusalem. Eventually had to trade it in for a small car as we grew. Still miss it.

At 1.17 into this video you see Norton with an address of Bracebridge Street on it. In 1996 I worked for a company called Hydraforce Hydraulics who were based in part of the Norton factory along with T.A. Savery I know there was a preservation order on the Norton part Hydraforce moved out of Bracebridge Street around 2000/1 to Newtown Middleway. Then moved again in 2015 to Aston Hall Road T.A.Savery also relocated to Coventry around 15-17 years ago if I remember correctly I retired in February 2016 😃😃🏴🏴❤️❤️👍 👍

A good book "Travels with Jupiter". The author bought one of the last bikes produced before the factory shut in 1973(?) and rode it around the world . The bike itself is almost a carácter throughout the book, and having crossed the Andes myself his descriptions are lovely. I don't remember what model as it is years since I read it.

Well built bikes all AMC were, problem being the lack of automation in the production meant AMC was losing money at its London factory, their James/Franny Barnet factory was profitable. The government didn't help taking 30+ percent purchase tax, and during the 50s and 60s the motorcycle market was contracting heavily in the UK. This means borrowing money for investment was more or less impossible for small British motorcycle companies

I am one of the world's foremost Opel experts and I have to say that I get absolutely nothing out of this. The reason is that it is far too short and shallow, it leaves far too much out. The problem with Opel is that Opel's history contains more than any other car brand. Because Opel devoted itself to many more different things than anyone else. Therefore, it is not possible to tell a short and simple story. If you want to sum up Opel in a few short words, it would be - "There's nothing... we can't do". And that led to confusion among customers who found it difficult to understand what Opel was or what it was doing. Being different and thinking differently has always caused doubt from those around you instead of interest and admiration as it should be. But humans are unfortunately not particularly intelligent. Which, however, Opel cars have always been, well-thought-out solutions that can be used and work, have been the goal since the very beginning.

In 1891, for example, Opel manufactured a 4-wheel tandem bicycle with rhombic wheel placement and 3-wheel drive. Where the person sitting in the back seat could also steer the bike through a steering rod connected to the front wheel, no one else had anything like that. 1911 Opel manufactures its first 60 hp aircraft engine, 5 years before BMW's first aircraft engine. 1912 Comes Opel's first luxury car with the name "40/100" with a 4 cylinder 10.2 liter 3-valve engine with 100 hp and interior heating - one of the world's first. Technically, it is superior, for example, to Mercedes' top model 37/90, which is a technical disaster... on every... single point. Opel's car is much larger than Mercedes but weighs 600... kg less…. Here you also see for the first time a windscreen / windshield that tilts backwards like on a modern car. And the appearance is characterized by elegance and lightness at least 10 years ahead of its time. Opel manufactures one of the world's first motorized internal combustion engine driven fire extinguishers and creates its own fire department. Theoretically, if the entire effect was concentrated in a single hose, the water could reach a height of over 80 meters. As the saying goes... "There's nothing we can't do"... 1914 Opel presents its first 4 cylinder 4 valve engine with overhead vertical shaft driven camshaft, it develops gradually over the years until the 1920s when in Opel's racing car they had an output of 260 hp and reached a theoretical top speed of over 230 km/h, but it could not be driven faster than 228 km/h due to the tires and rims of the time not being able to handle higher speeds. Two of these cars from 1914 have been preserved all the years and are still in original condition and run in vintage car competitions.

If we jump to 1928 and the rocket cars, Opel invented the brake rockets there, they were used to brake the rocket car and it is now used on spaceships... which is thus an invention of Opel... Opel was also the first to use wings on the car to control the airflow, and when they came back in the 1960s it was because someone had seen pictures of Opel cars. And the wings were adjustable... while driving, they have a mechanism that allows them to be re-angled. The rockets were controlled with an electric accelerator or "gas pedal" a world first. There was also a Rak 5 and Rak 6; The Rak 6 was an ordinary car that unbelievably showed similarities in appearance to an F1 car from the 1970s, it had a centrally angled nose that consisted of an adjustable wing, Opel had then discovered that the wings should sit in the front of the car and not on the sides, also a first in the world. Later in 1928 came Opel's top Luxury Car of all time, the REGENT when it was new technically outclassed all other luxury cars in the world, including Bugatti and Rolls Royce. It was the world's first car with a working...! hydraulic servo-assisted brakes. it had a Maybach semi-automatic six-speed gearbox and could lift itself into the air with built-in servo-assisted hydraulic jacks, something others also had, but there you had to crank by hand, in the Opel you just pressed a button. A straight eight-cylinder engine with twin spark plugs from airplanes and a steel frame isolated from the body with countless rubber bushings, And much more, a generator driven by a steel chain in an oil bath... for example. When GM bought Opel in 1930 they were scared... of how superior... the Regent was to Cadillac... so they bought back all the cars and destroyed... them, so that no one would know this, GM even destroyed the design drawings. Nothing like this has happened to any other car in world history… In 1928, Opel also manufactures its famous motorcycle "Motoclub ss", the world's first fully galvanized "vehicle" and it was made from pressed sheet metal profiles, which no other motorcycle was made from, because Opel was a car manufacturer and mastered that technology, for the same reason it also had a fuel gauge, which was completely unique on motorcycles. And suspension for the front wheel, most others had no suspension on the front wheel at the time. It was also available with rocket propulsion and then managed 200 km/h. And all the rubber and all the cables and the tires were original red... the world's first through-colored rubber material. And so it continues…
