When Mark Broadhurst’s business hit hard times, he was doing his best to keep things going and not lose the lot. But as he told us: “When you’re on your knees and needs must, everything has a price”… and that’s where this story starts.
In the mid 80s Mark Broadhurst built and tuned a water-cooled reed-valve cast iron SX200 called ‘Eddie Cochran’ for a customer, which was full of innovative ideas. By the end of the 80s, though, the owner wanted it to be restored back to a Blue and White SX200, but with the same engine all hidden away so it was truly a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
