Given my complete inability to negotiate the Finnish language I'm struggling to place a specific bike - a 1956 AJS 7R (Frame  RTC -62   6- 56

Engine 1503) - with the list of previous owner/racers:

 

 

Olli Riekki is said to have bought it from the factory, others named include
 
Unto Kaskinen; T: Fors
Erkki Hamunen; Helsingfors
Jaakko Kallio; Orivesi
Rainer Leppamaki; Turku
Erkki Kemilainen T: Fors
Toive Lehtninen; Orivesi
Erkki Jarvi; Turenki
 
Any help would be much appreciated - I know it's an long shot but if the TNF can't help...

Blimey, best of luck with that.  I've been trying for years to trace the history and present whereabouts of a Brit based 7R (least I think it was/is) and got not a sniff.   I would be interested to know how you get on.

Well I live in hope, there do seem to be quite a few Scandinavian contributors to TNF but I'm not holding my breath.
