There are only a few Mike Hailwood prints left....
The Benevolent Fund are grateful for all the money raised from the sale of these prints.
To mark the 50th anniversary of Honda the Auto-Cycle Union has commissioned a new work of motorcycling art by Rod Organ, showing Mike Hailwood on the 297cc six cylinder Honda passing Whitegates as he leaves Ramsey during the 1967 Junior TT Races.
Mike Hailwood was possibly the most famous and highly regarded rider to race with an ACU licence, and memories of Mike aboard the Honda Six are amongst the longest lingering.
A limited number of prints (20 x 28") are available at a delivered cost of £50.00. To obtain your copy and help support the ACU Benevolent Fund simply send a cheque payable to "ACU Benevolent Fund" with your address details and stating you would like a print to: ACU Benevolent Fund Secretary, ACU House, Wood Street, Rugby, Warwickshire CV21 2YX.
