Italian co-operation
When Moto Guzzi developed a 317cc version of their all-conquering 250 single, they did not have an entry for the TT. MV allowed Fergus Anderson to take over an MV entry, then change the machine to the Guzzi on which he finished 3rd in the 1953 Junior TT. He went on to win the 350 World Championship, retaining it in 1954

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the golden era of motorcycle racing, where Italian co-operation and ingenuity took center stage. The image captures a pivotal moment in history when Moto Guzzi, renowned for their all-conquering 250 single engine, developed a remarkable 317cc version. However, with no entry for the prestigious TT race on hand, an unexpected alliance was formed. MV graciously allowed Fergus Anderson to take over one of their entries and then modify the machine into the Guzzi masterpiece that would soon make headlines. This incredible act of collaboration paved the way for Anderson's outstanding performance in the 1953 Junior TT event. Against all odds, Anderson piloted his newly transformed Moto Guzzi to an impressive third-place finish at the revered Isle of Man circuit. This achievement not only showcased his exceptional skill but also solidified Guzzi's place among motorcycling legends. Buoyed by this success, Fergus Anderson went on to clinch victory in the fiercely competitive 350 World Championship title race. His triumph was not short-lived as he successfully defended his crown in 1954 - a testament to both his talent and unwavering determination. This extraordinary photograph encapsulates a significant chapter in motorcycle racing history; it symbolizes how collaboration between rival manufacturers can lead to groundbreaking achievements and everlasting legacies within this exhilarating sport.
