Tony Jefferies

The three times TT winner and ex-works Triumph star, Tony Jefferies, whose career was cut cruelly short by an accident that left him in a wheelchair, has died aged 73.

Here, pictured at Brands Hatch in 1972, on his way to winning the Hutchison 100 race, held over 50 laps of the Kent Circuit on this occasion, Jefferies, on the 750cc Rob North-framed Triumph Trident, took the lead, ‘never looked like getting caught.’
