• Thought to be a GR framed professional speedway bike
• Fitted with an Italian made GM SR Series 500cc engine
• Reputed to have been ridden in Scotland By Iain Macaulay

Not much is known of the history of this professional speedway bike, but it looks to be a Godden Racing style frame housing a GM SR Series 500cc engine. The GM engine was designed by Giuseppe Marzotto who began competing in off-road racing at the age of 16, riding under the pseudonym "Charlie Brown", because his parents were opposed to him entering such events. In the late 1970s he began to develop his own speedway motor with the first version produced in 1979. The engine become known as the GM and the first major success was achieved in 1983 when Egon Muller won the 1983 Speedway World Championship. Since then the GM has won more than 40 world speedway and longtrack championships. It is thought that this bike was ridden by Iain Macaulay in speedway events for a team based in Scotland
