Old Bike Mart  |  July 2018
There’s only one subject I can possibly write about in this month’s ‘Prattle’ – the wonderful achievement by Michael Worthington-Williams, who has been a much-respected contributor to Old Bike Mart for around a quarter of a century, in being made an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List.
Now 80, Michael, of Newcastle Emlyn, Carmarthenshire, received the award for services to automotive history, and he’s still supplying those services in full with his monthly ‘Unearthed’ and ‘Feedback’ pages in this journal.
He’s been writing features about vintage vehicles for an amazing 63 years now, ever since his first was published in Brighton’s Evening Argus in 1955 when he was just 17.
His love affair with motorcycles began in 1956 when he acquired a 1926 BSA V-twin combination. After a life as a police squad bike with Hove police, the BSA was later used as a motorcycle taxi on Brighton’s sea front with a coach-built Noxall coupe sidecar.
I’m sure many of our readers will heartily join me in offering this doyen of automotive history our warmest congratulations.
“It was a pleasant surprise, if totally unexpected,” said Michael, “and it is very
nice to be recognised” – and we all say “Hear! Hear!” to that!
