Hi i am a distant cousen of Fred Stevens. I new him when he raced for George Leigh and Tom Arter at Brands Hatch. I have some old black and white photo’s of him. I also saw him race the Patons when they were new. Rob if you would like copies of the photo’s email me. Roy sambridge.

I have to second what Rob Stevens said. We too, were at the Manx Grand Prix this year and even during practice the smart money said the Patons were the bikes to beat. And when the time came to fly, they really “flew”. What an impressive machine. We strolled the paddock area, spoke to the Paton mechanic. He answered all our questions and showed off the bike. Magnificent piece of machinery. We went to see the Norton manxes, the G50’s, Ducatis, Velos, etc and were treated to the Patons in the bargain. Fantastic.
