In a similar vein, Alan Shepherd on a rather fast 350cc Ajay Boy Racer in the 1960 Ulster TT had given the MV boys a real scare, harrying them until his cam chain broke, a real rarity for Ajays. MV protested his engine (implying that it was bigger then 350cc) but it was stripped and found to be legal. They simply couldn't believe that it/he could go that fast, as good as the latest multi cylinder MV Augusta racer.
Mike Hailwood in the 1961 IoM Junior TT had a similarly wickedly fast Ajay single, but the gudgeon pin let go 15 miles from the end.
Going (much) faster than the design had been designed/tested to ??

It would have had a fairing for these era of races, but I couldn't readily find a pic ....
