I saw this Ward La France in May 2006. I think the name Ken Lucas of motorcycle racing fame rings a bell. Just out of Wangaratta, he has a museum of racing bikes and a veteran T Ford. The price on the Ward was only about $5000 in 2006. Very tempted then but not now.

I visited Ken early in the year as I was intrested in the grant hull and bits but the asking price of 20k in folded notes stumped me somewhat.

Kind regards
