THE PHIL MATHER FILES



In the mid '70s journalist Phil Mather did a number of photo shoots and features on the top UK custom bikes of the era, most were featured in a long gone magazine called Motorcycling Monthly and 18 years ago were repeated in BSH as a series titled Rearview Mirror.
Phil (and BSH) have been good enough to give me the OK to re-run them on here and i will be posting them over the next few weeks. I dont propose to imprint the photos with a logo but please remember these are all copyright to the owner and he is keen to keep it that way so no re-blogging without permish', ya.

Loved that series in BSH. I think Old Blue made an appearance as one of the installments.

weren't alot of his shots used in an occasional A3 glossy format rag in the late '70's. it may have been a promo' tool for paper back Cave(?) stuff.
