Don't think so - Dave Yates took a look and said def not one if his - serial number all wrong.

Kevin confirmed it as one of his made when he worked for donohue - lots of identifiers but mainly the serial number and orange logo embossed on the seat tube - that is a donhue thing.

The budding links in the early orange story so far on this site are both Yates built; Tushingham Works Replica and one if the two Yates built Formulas......... but someone will find one!

I wonder what happened to the other Donohue Formula that was on here?

Ok, It had to be either Yates or Donohue. I am surprised at a couple of things though, the first being frame number records, the last time i spoke to DY they didnt have any records.

But ifs hes physiclly looked at it, thats all the conformation i need.

Looks like my original theory at the beginning was right then, ref this one the yellow frame and the campag equipped version, all being Donohue.

Did you ask the Obvious question, did they ever work at TWG....? Im still intrigued.
