Description: Framed caricature of "Jimmie Simpson" by Sallon of the "Daily Mirror" The text under the picture reads as follows:- JIMMIE SIMPSON, winner of 20 International Grands Prix, and the living legend of T.T. racing and record laps. From 1922 to 1934, riding Scott, A.J.S., Norton and Rudge machines, was placed 8 times and won the 1934 Lightweight. The first 60, 70 and 80 m.p.h. laps on the Mountain circuit go to his credit. He retired after joining Shell-Mex and B.P. Ltd. as a competition representative, and is a founder member and President of the T.T. Riders' Association. The Jimmie Simpson trophy, presented by the late Mr. Arthur Birkett, is awarded annually for the fastest lap in the T.T. races. This picture is from a set of cartoons commissioned by Shell-Mex and BP Ltd. to mark the 50th anniversary of the Isle of Man TT races in May 1957. It featured motor-cycling personalities both from the past and present at that time. See my other auctions for some of the other pictures. Historical picture framed in a 25 x 20 cm. (10 x 8 inch) size clipframe. Naturally the picture you are bidding on does NOT have the "SAMPLE" watermark!! Powered by WonderLister Desktop App
