Export Trader magazine for February 1947...a look at a few articles- JAP speedway engines, Velocette range for 1947 and Velocette and Vincent-HRD adverts.....
I've a couple of these small magazines for the years 1947 and 1957...."Export Trader- British cycles and Motor Cycles"....
Published by the Iliffe Group who were a major publishing house and of course produced "The MotorCycle"....it was to ensure the British Industry associated with cycles and motorcycles got worldwide exposure.

I'll be looking at two articles....."The Heart is British" which covers the J.A.P speedway engine and the Velocette range for 1947 with two adverts from Velocette and Vincent-HRD.

I see fron that report that JAPs were quite a bit ahead of their time...with a bore of 80mm and a stroke of only 29mm.
Quite a feat to get 498cc with those dimensions indeed.
It seems that errors in magazines are not confined to the modern rags (which also have terrible grammar, worse than mine!)
Dennis, if you have any articles on teh 8/80 and other JAP V twins I'd love to see them.
Thanks for a great read.
Cheers,
Greg
