I remember my dad buying a new Triumph Vitesse 2.0 in 1969 which used 5 star,when it was withdrawn Circa 1971-2 he had to have the timing backed off to stop it pinking

75p a gallon when I got my first transport (Yamaha FS1E )

AP50 was faster ............ the days when you could get tabs beer and chips with batter with change from a £1 note   

My Garelli Rekord was faster than both. A monster 6.2 BHP from a mere 49c.c.

My Mum used to have a little Fiat 850 Sport Coupe, with a 1l engine. That needed 5*, and only one garage around Aylesbury sold it. That thing was, for what it was, a pocket rocket, and didn't disgrace itself one evening after a family evening out against my bro's Mk1 Golf GTi and another bro's 1.3 Chavalier. After 15 miles, all arrived home at same time, the Chavalier winning, having better top end on the A41(M) than the GTi .  The Fiat came last, but hung on.

Cracking little motor, until eventually, there wasn't enough rust to hold it together.

No nancy boy posilube system on the Garelli either. Just a few drops of two stroke oil in the tank and shake.

The 2 stroke shake making sure the correct amount was put in , too much and create a smoke screen for the boys in blue
