2 eras of TJQs ... early ones from the 50's and 60's when Tommy was working in Herne Hill after which (I believe) he took a break from frame building and returned to it when he mover to Forest Hill/Catford in the 70s. No doubt that mines a TJQ;
- Tommy built it for my Dad in Herne Hill.
- It had all Tommy's decals on it when I inherited it in the 70s
- They checked the frame number against their records when I took it into Tommy's shop in the 90s.
Oh, ye of little faith!!
If you read back up this thread, then you'll earn more of the history If you find the link to the e-aby auction of a 1960s TJQ and follow the link, you'll find some excellent pictures of an incredibly preserved early TJQ ... and mine looked just like that (few very minor differences) only black and cream rather than red and white. To be honest the cream might have been faded white ... but close enough.
Trying to find the early style decals for a proper restoration if anyone knows of any???
