Halfway through the 10 day ebay auction, the organisers are delighted
with the response so far. The interest in the auction and the staggering number
of bids to date has led to further donations of items bringing the total upto 70+.
Added to the list are signed photos of MGP winners, the Kneen brothers along
withJohn McGuinness, 15 times World Champion Giacomo Agostini and 50cc
World Champion Jan De Vries. There are two official Renault F1 Team
items signed by double World Champion Fernando Alonso and Nelson Piquet
Jnr. Two more helmets are added to the list, these worn by World Champions
Tim Reeves and Patrick Farrance in the final British and World Championship
events of 2008. All memorabilia associated with 1980 World Sidecar Champion
Jock Taylor is eagerly sought after, and the organisers are grateful to Jock's
niece, Yvonne for donating Jock's trophy from the international race at
Donington in 1980.
Despite the interest shown in the auction, there are still many items which
offer tremendous value. Bidding finishes at various times on Friday 21st and
Saturday 22nd November.
