This print captures the legendary Harry Stanford astride the iconic Mead Norton during the exhilarating 1960 Lightweight TT race. A true testament to engineering brilliance, this motorcycle boasted a remarkable combination of a specials short-stroke Manx engine and an Albion 5-speed gearbox. Harry Stanford's fearless determination and skillful maneuvering on this extraordinary machine left spectators in awe as he pushed its limits through every twist and turn of the treacherous Isle of Man circuit. The Mead Norton became synonymous with speed, power, and precision under his expert guidance. Fast forward to 2011 when this historic piece of motorcycling history found itself at Bonhams auction house, where it fetched an impressive sum of approximately £19,000.
