I believe there were only going to be 24 Hesketh m/c with the X-Wedge motor...


Looking at the Hesketh site it was the 'Sonnet' which used the X-Wedge and it was being distributed by Moto Corsa.

Interestingly, Moto Corsa were selling off complete Morgan spec X-Wedge engines on eBay so I guess they never built the full run.


A number of years ago now we took our M3W’s along to Hesketh launch of the 24 and got involved with their press release - What an introduction to them using the x wedge - their test rider almost dropped the bike on its launch - heart stopping
