Sammy's Restoration Delight!

What's Miller so happy about?!
Well, on the day of filming the sun was shining and Sammy thought it the perfect time to kickstart some of the recent restoration projects!
First up was the 1930 OEC. This now completed restoration project represents the culmination of months of head-scratching and problem-solving by Sammy and Jim in the workshop 🛠
Sammy couldn't wait to show you the other project nearing completion: the 1929 AKD (Abingdon King Dick). Despite some healthy scepticism from Jim, Sammy decided to try firing up its Swiss engine right on the bench... Stay tuned for the results 😉
Next to be introduced to you is the Museum's latest acquisition, a 1929 Rudge Speedway bike that Sammy found at an auction in Chippenham.
⚠️ The bike's previous owner is believed to be a speedway rider named Denny Belcher. If anyone can give any information as to him or the bike's history, please do leave a comment! ⚠️
Ahead of Rickman day at the Museum (which took place last Sunday), Jim was also keen to fire up Derek Rickman's Metisse with a Matchless engine.
Thanks as always for watching - we hope you enjoy! 🏍

Sammy Miller is a national treasure. He surely should have been listed in the new years honours by now for services to motorcyle sport!

I don't know what was more satisfying; seeing the AKD fire up for the first time or Sammy's expression when it did! Keep up the fantastic work.

What a great man, what a knowledge. My respect sir.

Thank you Sammy and your amazing team. The bike world needs you and thanks you.

I visited the museum for the first time a few weeks ago. What an absolutely stunning collection of bikes, engines and motorcycle related ...'stuff'. I had a great day, plus, an excellent breakfast in the cafe before my ride home.

Loved visiting your museum. In the words of Arnie - ‘I’ll be back”

[@stewy62]

When the AKD started up I had my thumbs up before Sammy. Not I’m sure that anyone here would need persuading about the merits of ICE v Electric, but the sound of that engine when it started up and the joy on Sammys’ face said all you need to know 🇬🇧

Magnificent sir!
