This very special machine was purchased some time ago by the current owner. Dismantled for around 8 years before that, the overhaul started in earnest with the engine and included new bearings, pistons, new conrods etc; Phil Pick from Triple Cycles overhauled the gearbox. To aid the restoration, the current vendor visited Harris Performance with some pictures. The vendor was informed that Lester Harris told him it was 'one of three prototypes for track testing and racing whilst the other two did not survive due to crashing'.
Said to have been raced previously by Jim Wells, in F750 and Endurance, the Harris was taken back to Lester to have a look at and at that time some work was carried out by him, which included a fork brace, battery box, chain guard, a one-off exhaust system, and a White Power suspension spring. All the wheels were overhauled at the time, with new bearings and tyres and tubes. The amount of work that has been carried out has been listed by the current vendor. It was subsequently featured in the July 1989 'Performance' magazine once completed. We have been advised the Harris Prototype is 'running very well' and should be a delight for its new owner. It is offered with a current V5C and various paperwork.
