I hope it is OK to post this here but I think it may be of interest with Christmas coming up.
Hello,
I recently acquired a very large poster that was copied from the original. As it was too big to display at home I took it to a local printing firm to get a computer file and have some prints done. I also had them edit out the creases that were in the print of my poster. I am really pleased with the results and would like to offer my fellow enthusiasts a chance to have a poster themselves.
These are printed on A2 banner material which gives a nice quality feel and also make the poster water resistant so perfect for garages and sheds as well as inside the home. The photograph doesn't really do the poster justice. Price is only £8.00 plus £4 P&P to mainland UK.
I have a batch of 10 at the moment but i can get more done quickly at the same price if there is enough interest.
Please email to order.
Thank you
Fantastic but misleading poster. Nevertheless I have ordered one!
The car illustrated is a stylised 1930 TT car, arguably Waites, not capable of much over 90 m.p.h.
The record was taken by a works single seater (Duck or Dutch Clog)

At the 1930 Ards TT in practice the three works cars did have an apron like that in the stylised picture. They were removed for the race, presumably as they gave no advantage.

Simon are there any pictures of the cars in their practice guise that you can post on here.

Thanks to some some very kindly forwarded information the entries list states the car was number 1 entered by Waite and Driven by Driscoll which appears to show that it is the 'Duck' in this shot. http://www.austinharris.co.uk/photo/1932-easter-monday-meeting/125
I have also been told this is the last of the 4 and that this was the car that was modified into "The Duck for Germany".
Also note in the photo the TT car of W L Thompson sporting a front bib, possibly providing inspiration for the poster.

Here are some pics of the factory team at practice for the TT, 1930

The Thompson car of 1932/3 was a crudely streamlined customer TT car.
