SUMMARY

An impressive example of the short-lived Hesketh V1000 with just over 2,000 miles.

DESCRIPTION

  • Designed by F1 engineers and built at Easton Neston in Northampton under the watchful eye of Lord Hesketh
  • Engine and gearboxes were built by Weslake and fitted into a Reynolds tubing frame with fiberglass bodywork
  • Heavy, expensive and underpowered and bad initial reviews did little for the success of the bike
  • Bankruptcy in the first year ended the story after just 139 were built
  • Now collectable and sought after
  • This mostly original example is in running order and showing just over 2,000 recorded miles
  • UK-registered since 2004 and complete with some import paperwork
  • Great addition to any British bike Collection
