Not
many people are aware that the famous British marque was revived in 1981
when Julian, Lord Spagthorpe, inherited his title at the age of 24. A
keen motorcyclist himself, he saw an opportunity to inject some character
into what was becoming a rather bland industry, and started a manufacturing
operation in Peter Tavy, Devonshire. His bikes have certainly been distinctive,
from the first model of the Greyhound sportbike up until the present day.
