r000 “Something 19XX good Make enough to Model win World 750 cc races…but cheap, safe,
estimate: $000 000 - $000 000
easily repairable, and pretty.” This was what Charles Panter and Lawrie
offered without reserve
Bond set out to build. The Berkeley Sports was introduced to the public at
the 1956 Motor Show, a year ahead of the fiberglass monocoque Lotus.
The Sports Sa322, often incorrectly called the B60, had the interesting
anzani engine used in several motorcycles, but it was fitted with a Dynastart,
which incorporated an advanced rotary valve in the crankshaft.
after only 163 cars, the motor was changed for the Excelsior 328-cubic
centimeter twin with three more horsepower, and the Sports now became
the type SE328, often incorrectly called the B65. The first six months’ cars
retained the awkward column gear change. a Deluxe model was offered
with hubcaps and spinners, a tachometer, and twin carbs. Production ran
from January 1957 to april 1958. Many were exported to the U.S.a., but
they were fitted with freestanding lamps on top of the fenders to meet
lighting regulations there. The little car enjoyed considerable success in
competition, and none other than
Pat Moss, of austin-Healey rally car
fame, entered one in the grueling
manufacturer Liège-Brescia-Liège Manufacturer rally. This sharp production #
origin example is red City, with Country a biscuit interior, ID no. #
motor and it has the motor appearance, almost, of displacement cc
a power miniature Siata, hp with its egg crate length mm
grille and bumper guards.
