What’s been at the workshop lately?
How ‘bout this awesome 1929 350cc Harley Davidson “Peashooter”.
Harley-Davidson started producing 21 cubic inch, or 350cc, light weight single cylinder motorcycles in 1925.
This was in response to the American Motorcycle Association's new 21-inch racing class, meant to reduce the costs of competition to the rider.
Harley offered simple side-valve engines along with more sophisticated overhead valve engines.
Harley-Davidson's race version, the Model S, made popping noises through its abbreviated exhaust stack and became affectionately known as the "Peashooter".
The Peashooter racer made its debut at a race meeting in Milwaukee in 1925.
It weighed only 215lb (98kg), giving it a competitive power-to-weight ratio and its good handling enabled successful racing both in the USA and abroad
The name stuck and was eventually used on both road models and race bikes.

What’s been at the workshop lately?
How ‘bout this gem of a 1963 Vauxhall Victor Super.
The Vauxhall Victor was produced from 1957 until 1976.
The four-cylinder engine on the Victor was always a good puller but became even better from 1963 on with a bonus of an extra 100cc, going from 1508cc to 1594 cc.
All models, including the wagon version, could cruise quietly at 70-75 mph., and peak at a maximum of around 85mph.
1963 was also the year when front disc brakes with larger 14 inch (360mm) wheels became an option.
Most car journalists agreed - the most outstanding attributes of Vauxhalls were their impressively increased low and medium-speed torque, and very high standard of finish - and this well-loved example is proof of that.

Future F1 contender Liam Lawson visits The Classic Workshop
What a treat it was to have the 19-year-old Red Bull junior and quite possibly New Zealand’s next F1 driver call in to the workshop over the weekend.
On Saturday Liam set the third unofficial lap record in succession driving the Rodin FZED in a demonstration run at Ruapuna, beating Scott Dixon’s 1998 best time at Ruapuna Raceway by 4.6 seconds.
Liam had previously clocked the fastest ever lap time during demonstration runs at Dorrington in the UK last year.
A week ago he went under his own lap record at Highlands circuit near Cromwell by 6 seconds.
The Cosworth V8-powered FZED produces 675hp and can rocket from 0-160kph in 5 seconds. It has been developed and built at Rodin Cars' manufacturing and test-track facility at Mt Lyford, North Canterbury.
Rodin Cars are joint naming right sponsors with Red Bull for Liam’s 2022 FIA Formula F2 campaign.
In 2022 Liam will drive for UK-based Carlin team with pre-season testing in Bahrain in March.
All the best Liam. You do us all proud.

How ‘bout this rare low production 1923 Buick Type 55 Sport Tourer.
The Model 23 ‘Master Six’ was a range-topping model fitted with a 241 cubic inch version of the legendary overhead valve Buick Six, clad in desirable bodywork by Fisher.
The 60 horsepower inline six meant excellent performance for the period.
Now that’s one handsome old timer!

How ‘bout this glorious 1928 AJS Model K7.
A.J. Stevens & Co. Ltd. was founded in 1909 by four brothers - George, Harry, Jack and Joe Stevens, of Wolverhampton, England.
The first production motorcycle appeared in 1911, using their own proprietary single-cylinder 292cc side-valve motor.
By the late 1920s, AJS's overhead-valve 'Big Port' was nearing the end of its development, and in 1927 the works race bikes appeared with a new overhead-camshaft engine.
The 'cammy' AJS was built in 350cc (K7) and 500cc (K10) capacities initially, customer versions being equipped with three-speed gearboxes rather than the works bikes' four-speed units.
Instead of the customary shaft and bevel gears, the camshaft was chain-driven, its distinctive cast-alloy case extending forwards to the front-mounted magneto.
Works rider Jimmy Simpson rode the 350cc version to victory in the Belgian, Swiss, Austrian and European Grands Prix in 1927
By the end of the 1929 season the improved 350cc model (now designated 'M7') had chalked up victories in the German TT and the Grands Prix of Austria, Ulster and Europe

How ‘bout this super sharp 1968 Cadillac Coupe DeVille.
The third-generation Coupe DeVille ran from 1965 until 1970.
The most obvious change for 1968 was an 8.5-inch-longer hood designed to accommodate recessed windshield wiper-washers, which now came with three speeds standard.
The DeVille also gained a new 472 cu in (7,730 cc) V8 engine rated at 375 hp.
1968 was the last year for the "stacked" dual headlights, which were replaced with side-by-side dual headlights in 1969, and the last year for vent windows.
Front disc brakes were available starting in 1968 and cars built after January 1, 1968 got front shoulder belts as per Federal safety standards.
