Was just browsing the forum and came across this very sad news, cant believe it.
I was not one of the lucky ones who met him in person and only knew Trev through this forum, but his Indian build was always my first port of call when logging on to check his progress on this amazing creation.
Condolences to his family and his many friends, he will be missed.

Collectors: Trash Models (24/09/2010)
Amazing stuff......
I was in town the other day getting bread at the local Bakers Delight and as I started back up the street I saw a couple blokes with leathers enjoying a coffee.
I looked across to the spare chair to see a new Indian Jacket draped over it and then to the street to see a new Indian Motorbike.
I commented "nice bike" and the owner was pleased to receive the complement.
I then asked if like to see a restored 1920's bike to which he and his mate eagerly said YES.
I showed them Trevor's bike and the were agog at the detail and finish,
BUT the jaw drop came when I showed them this photo!!

They could believe it was a 2/3's model....
WELL DONE TREVOR!!
Nice Crowie. I was just showing some pictures of the Indian this last week too.
In Jerilderie this weekend. Miss having him around. He was a part of my morning ritual

Thanks for the Link on Trev's TV appearance we had not seen it.
Like Crowie or similar to at a recent show n shine swap meet a number of bikes Trev had made scale models of were present.
Then with birds visiting our back yard or verg behind the mind wanders to the fantastic photo's Trev use to take. So we grab the camera also.
It's happened again with another Indian Motor Bike owner...
I was in town today and saw a couple of Indian Motor Bikes parked in the main street; a very old one and a new one.

After taking a couple of photos, I showed the riders Trevor's Indian, with the reply:
What a beautiful bike, immaculate detail, be well over $100,000.00 to buy bike of that standard....
Then I showed the photo of the bike with the Jerilderie mob behind it, they were absolutely dump founded.
Love it Trevor!!
You're still being joy to others!!
Cheers, Peter
I was showing that photo off and a pic of Trevor just last week at work

Motorcycle racing returns to Sellicks Beach, South Australia.
And I'm sure Trevor would have loved to attend this event!!
Beach motorcycle racing, as depicted in The World’s Fastest Indian, is set make a long-awaited return to one Australian state with a strong motorsport history.
The Levis Motorcycle Club will host the two-day classic event at Sellicks Beach, South Australia, on February 18-19, 2017.
A field of 110 motorcycles manufactured before 1963 have entered to race across five classes – under 125cc through to 501cc – 1300cc.
Sidecar races will also be held.
The oldest motorcycle club in South Australia began beach racing in the 1920s and held annual Sellicks Beach Speed Trials in summer through to 1953.
Re-enactments were held in 1986 and 1992 but regular races have not taken place on the beach for more than 60 years.

Just thought of Trevor today as it's his birthday on Tuesday...
Miss him and his creative wizardry...
Long live the Junk Master Artisan, the miracle worker with bogg....
RIP in good friend!
Yes I go along with your thoughts Pete.
What got him? Was it cancer? It was surely very quick
Yes, much missed and this earth is a poorer place for his leaving us.
Hope to have a tribute to Trev at my next get together

That's a very fitting and entirely appropriate thought.

So very true.
I had the privilege of my first meeting with Trevor in November 2014 at a Katoomba Get Together at Brett's....
No sleeves, no foorwear, no name tag and no fuss....

And the only one I recognise in that photo is Trevor. Most of us remember him for his magic with junk, but he had many other talents that we didn't get to see or know about until after he was gone. A great talent gone too soon.
Trevor Jones would have had his 58th birthday today, gone but not forgotten!
Rest in peace good friend....

He's sorely missed on the forum, the "Photography", the "Toymaking" and of course the "Model Making" are all lesser without is superb input.
Rest in Peace good friend.....
A rare talent who unfortunately had his time on this earth cut short. Has anyone ever archived his photography and what happened to his models? If a compilation of his photography was done I for one would buy a copy.
I miss him too
Yes I think someone collated all his photos from the forum Chris

This inheritance is both a blessing and a curse as well as a constant reminder of his late, and much loved, father. Some of the replicas are slated for display in relevant museums and there are also a couple of REAL classic and vintage motorbikes which his son hopes one day to restore himself. As for the rest, a few of us have volunteered to help him go through it and find respectful owners or usage. I compiled a lot of his Brough Superior photos to jointly write an article with Trevor to publish in the UK Brough Owners Group magazine and I am continuing to work with his son to market some of Trevor’s stunning technical ‘blueprints’ through the same channel.Quote:

What an amazing man.
Well another year has come and gone since we lost this extraordinarily talented artisan, Trevor Jones...
R.I.P. old friend... Cheers, Peter
Trevor would have been 62 tomorrow ....:rip:.... Rest in Peace old friend....
Those that weren't members then missed a rich time in this forum's history all because Trevor was posting here to show his talent in his peculiar hobby....making art from junk in ways no one else could.
Six [6] Years this Friday since the world lost this clever artisan....
Some people you come across in ones life just seem to make an everlasting impression, and Trevor was one of those blokes!
RIP Old Friend..... Peter
Just going for a walk down memory lane. Was talking about Trevor today to a friend. I miss him.
