Six decades of Millars memories
Reading of Millars Motors (Mitcham) in ‘A trio for the track’ (August 2023), sparked some memories of my dealings with them, and of events from my motorcycling history, that now stretches back more than 60 years.
As a lad, I lived only a few miles from Millars – their showroom was just down the road from the coal office on the railway bridge where our family order of coal was placed. As a young schoolboy, I used to drool over Millars’ impressive stock of Vincents, but must confess to not knowing that Freddie Millar was the owner, nor of his connection to Clamil suspension.
My first bike was a 1954 Triumph Thunderbird
