Renowned photographer and proud Guvnor owner Mark Fairhurst recently got in touch. Amongst his iconic portraits of royals, luminaries and sports stars, he captured this wonderful picture of Clive Horton, displaying the first pre-production Guvnor, which now belongs to Mark.

I confess the photo left me in awe. What a man, and what a bicycle!

Thank you Clive for your work on this machine. And thank you Mark, for the kind permission to reproduce this image, and for capturing something so close to our hearts, so spectacularly well.

What a cool job to have, no emails, no pressure just lots of grease and man work.
