From the 1950s through to the 1970s, Hughie Hancox worked at the Triumph
Meriden factory in various capacities - a fitter, a member of the famous
Royal Corps of Signals Motorcycle Display Team, in the experimental
department (where he actually worked on the prototype Bonneville), and
eventually as one of the legendary Triumph testers. This latter role
provided countless unique experiences with some of the most iconic
British motorcycles ever manufactured. The story of production testing
at Meriden has never before been published, and this intimate and
pragmatic account comes straight from a man who was at the heart of it.
With many previously unpublished pictures and service bulletins, plus
helpful advice on problems that still exist with the bikes today, this
is a unique book about a fascinating time and place in British industry.
