Paging Andrew Ford and his 1986 turbo 3½
Posted: 28 Jul 2012 01:14
In my growing collection of old magazines featuring the 3½ I have a March 1987 Performance Bikes featuring an article about the "Anfo 350". Written by Classic Bike's Rupert Paul, the cover says "Morini turbo - is he mad?"
The bike was fitted with an IHI turbo, single Dell' Orto 34mm carb, water injection and patented suspension - the rear has three pivots, reminding me of a similar (I think?) Laverda attempt. The whole bike isn't dissimilar to a supermoto, looks-wise.
Anyroadup, does anyone know where this bike or owner are now? Apparently he used to race it, too. Maybe someone remembers seeing it/him on the track? I'm just curious, that's all.
Cheers,
DD
