  Harold Martin Lampkin 

28.12.50 – 02.04.16

It is with deep regret that we inform you of the sad passing of Harold Martin Lampkin, better known as Martin Lampkin, who lost his cruel year long plus battle with cancer earlier today at the age of sixty-five.

As the first ever FIM Trial World Champion back in 1975, Martin who continued right through to the present day to be a recognised and much loved figure within the motorcycle community the World over, passed away peacefully surrounded by his immediate family near to his hometown of Silsden, Yorkshire.

Our thoughts and condolences are with his wife Isobel, his sons Dougie and Harry and other members of the Lampkin family, plus all his many friends motorcycling and otherwise at this sad time.

Martin Lampkin - Commemorative Metal Tags - 100% monies donated to charity

Following huge demand from around the World for the Martin Lampkin commemorative metal tags as worn by the riders at last weekend’s Spanish Trial GP, it has been decided with the approval of the Lampkin family to create one further limited batch of this keepsake item to mark the recent death of the highly celebrated 1975 and first ever FIM Trial World Champion.

Thanks to the kind support of Hope Technology and Steve Chicken at SCP Investments - 100% of the monies raised via the sale of these British made stainless steel etched tags (actual size 70x45mm) will be donated to The Christie Hospital - Manchester, which is one of the leading cancer centres in the World and where Martin was treated at times during his year plus battle against the disease.
