A fine bit of vintage construction which is hoped to be running this year.

There is some work to be done before the launch. Who was the designer? Who built the body? Which engines were used? When was it? All this informations for one point.

Japic designed by HM Walters with body by Jarvis. 344cc JAP engine. Brooklands 1925.

Replaced the following year with a 495cc JAP engine.

My source mentions M.H. Walthers as designer. So I didn't find the 2010 puzzle in the search..
