Kevils Speed Shop's BMW R100 RS - "Le Mans"
Saturday, November 24, 2012 
If you are going to use a race car as inspiration for your BMW scrambler project, there is not a better, more famous or outrageously cool race car than the 1970 Gulf Porsche 917 featured in Steve McQueen's movie 'Le Mans". The classic Gulf powder blue with marigold orange trim is one of the most iconic racing liveries in history. Kevin Hill from Kevils Speed Shop in Devon, England, decided to use these iconic colors and Porsche 917 as motivation for this sensational street scrambler he has named "Le Mans". Kevin has a serious soft-spot for old BMW boxers and has built too many to count over the years. He started working in the motor industry straight from school in the early eighties and has had a varied career since, including industrial model making. “I suppose that's how I got a keen eye for detail and design,” he says. It wasn't until 2009 that he decided to make his passion of building custom motorcycles his full time job – and we're sure glad he did.
