Robert McGregor McIntyre
Robert McGregor McIntyre
1928 - 1962
In 1957 Robert McGregor McIntyre attained the elusive 100 mph lap of the TT Mountain Course on a Gilera 500cc -4.
Only 4 years later, Bob took a Honda 250cc-4 round at 99.58 mph but the engine of his machine cried enough at Quarry Bends on the final lap.
Bob coasted to a stop at the Sulby Glen Hotel and dismounted in front of TTFan Ian Huntly who recorded this event on his camera.
Bob died in 1962, so Ian wishes to commemorate Bobs magnificent lap on his Honda by placing a plaque at the Sulby Glen Hotel and hopes that some other fans may wish to contribute to the cost of a quality, secure blue and white plaque....
Any money left over will be given to a worthy TT-orientated cause, to be decided.
Any amount would be gratefully received and we can assure that those donating will be recognised in print.
Paypal is the method being proposed for receipt of voluntary payments.
Once the On-Line Payment method has been arranged, (hopefully within a day or two), you will be able to come back to this posting and access the Payment Point to make your donation.
Many thanks in advance,
Ian Huntly, TTfan of some 65 Years
