Foggy Petronas spotted

[A993LAD]

I went to Snetterton at the weekend to watch some classic bike racing and there was a guy in the pits with a genuine foggy Petronas WSB bike.

Great looking machine.

I asked the owner how many there were around and he reckoned this was the only one (apart from another half of a bike which he bought at the same time) apparently he bought them directly from foggy himself. He said he didn't have many spares and a lot of the bits that he needs have to be self fabricated when required.

I wonder what happened to all of the homologated road bike versions. I seem to remember there was a story in MCN years ago that a load of them were in a barn somewhere in Essex under lock and key.
