Peter Williams was, in his day, one of the best road racers of the time and a TT rider par excellence – and is one of that small band of sportsmen who can be called ‘the best never to win a world championship.’
Peter’s unique career in the 1960s and 70s as racer, designer and development engineer, culminated in many great victories on bikes from 125cc to 750cc.
For two months in 1967 he led the 500cc class of the world championship on his single-cylinder Arter Matchless Special, against the much more powerful Honda and MV Agusta multis.
Just when he was, perhaps, due for a works ride, the Japanese withdrew from Grand Prix road racing and Peter joined the re-emergent manufacturer of Norton.
