1st saw him at brands 1982 I think same race card as Lawson, also trans Atlantic trophy.
Sheene was the star no doubt. Spencer had dropped the new Honda on practise and was actually in tears over it.
Think that was the year before he did all 3 classes in one year as champ. Have to agree a true gent.

Your right, I got mixed up with his suprebikes same year too.
Although 4 others have won 500 and a lower class but with rule changes Freddie is the only one to have done the 250 and 500 as you say.

Strangly enough the bikes he won the double on are up for sale.
If you have almost half a million to spare!
