Thomas Alexander Fermor-Hesketh did not spend much time on child's play. After selling his Formula 1 team to Walter Wolf, he wanted to single-handedly save the British motorcycle industry. Of course, despite several attempts, things went horribly wrong. Not even 200 Hesketh V1000s were built between 1980 and 1984. This article tells the story of the failed English luxury bike and shows an early version in the picture.
