Ray, Just shows you none of us knows everything and life is still full of pleasant surprises thank god. Yes he did ride, test and race a Moulton and I think there were quite a few pictures of him published in the British cycling press of the time. Just try looking in Sporting Cyclist and I am positive you will find one to verify this well known fact. There is a drawing of him as well taken from the photo at the Hill. You can purchase this from the artist himself: Kevin Mansfield, 301 Station road, Rainham, ME8 7PT. There is also a sculpture of him on the Moulton above the factory door. You might like to join the Veteran Cycling Club which is full of these interesting facts in their two excellent magazines. Tom Simpson on a modest salary somehow I don't think so. Best wishes and as I have always found it is never to late to learn. Joe. Croeso Cymru Joe King Nr. Maenaddwyn Ynys Mon Wales
