That pushrod Weslake V twin is fairly common in sidecar circles. The really rare one is the DOHC Weslake V twin of which only five were made. Jonesy (naturally) owns this work in progress, a DOHC Wessy in a Terry Mead road race frame. It's intended to eventually turn it into a street tracker. The other twin shown by Walteris the horizontal Weslake Nourish 850 of which Jonesy has two, one in the below Redline flat track frame and the other destined for a Rickman CR road race frame.Note the other engine on the bench.  Alan truly has some exotic shit and its not only American Eagles ;D.
