Born in Great Milton, Oxfordshire, on 2nd April, 1940, Mike Hailwood was probably the fastest and most famous man on two wheels during the 1960s and, with 250cc Hondas being among his mounts, he did much to establish the name and reputation of the Japanese giant in Europe. Hailwood joined Honda in 1961, which was then something of an unknown quantity, but he made history at Isle of Man TT that year when the he won the 125, 250 and 500cc races – the first man ever to achieve a Manx hat trick in a single week. The 125 and 250 races were with Hondas, and the 500 was with a Norton. He ended the year by winning the 250cc World Championship with his little four-cylinder Honda.

This beautiful little Honda pays tribute to the life and career of ‘Mike the Bike’ and was built by Bob Peck from Batley, West Yorkshire, many years ago. Since completion, it has been used for many parade laps across Britain and the Isle of Man. The late owner, a former TT and Manx GP racer during the ’70s and ’80s, bought it more than 20 years ago, but little else is known of its history. It has been out of use for some years so will require recommissioning, and it is sold without paperwork.
