Alan Whitton has had his van stolen a white Transit connect LWB reg NC 56 KKN. Inside was his Bantam rolling chassis that he had on his stand at Telford show along with some Triumph Tiger Cub heads and various parts.

The frame is very trick and easily identifiable as are the wheels that have Alan's own billet alloy hubs, anodised gun metal with scalloped spoke flanges along with Alans own modified forks and Billet alloy yokes etc. The cub heads have been blasted and look like new.

Hiya! Just thought I'd let you know my mag got here yesterday... BRILLIANT as ever!
.
I'd love to write something for it but I have no idea what...
.
I also hope I win the lottery here so I can come over to the cub camp! Instead I'll live vicariously through your mag and cry into a mug of PG Tips...
.
Cheers and keep up the fantastic work.

Hi GBC
Thank you for the latest copy of The Cub Mag.  I'm enjoying it, very informative.
.
I didn't want to tear off the back page of my mag, so will include relevant information in this letter.
.
My 1965 T20 is used regularly during the year, about 1500 miles.  Have a problem with disappearing gear box oil - no visible oil leak!?  Hope to fix it this year though.
