The Lowboy Racer.
This machine was bought in England, build in the 70s from recovered racing spares.
Chassisthe frame, tank and seat comes from a DOMIRACER “ Lowboy” designed on demand by Doug Hele to replace the old Manx Frame, much lower, leaner and lighter than the Manx featherbed (35 pounds less) for the 1961 Tourist Trophy.
The DOMIRACER episode ended in 1962 by the shutdown of the AMC factory in Birmingham and the switch of Doug Hele for Triumph.
“In January 1962, when Norton sold out at Bracebridge Street, Birmingham, Paul DUNSTALL bought most of the experimental Domiracer twin engines and development bits and pieces that had been developed for the factory race team. This included the actual machine raced by Australian Tom Phillips to a magnificent third place in the 1961 Senior TT.”
Soon after Paul Dunstall will build some Lowboy replica frames.

The fork is a shortened Norton Roadholder
