Trophy enquiry
Hello,
I have come into possesion of a 1933 Manx GP trophy. Engraved;
J.M Muir
1933
67-73MPH
13TH
The trophy is about 10 inches high.
If anyone has any connections to the family or would be interested in the trophy let me know, as it might hold some sentimental value?

RE: Trophy enquiry
That was Jock Muir, who I think competed in many forms of motorcycle sport before the war, particularly sand racing from memory.He rode the MGP from 1930-33, eight races, winning the '31 Senior, and a 2nd, a 3rd a 5th, and the 13th mentioned above. Finishing in 5 out 8 races was a pretty fair achievement in those days. He didn't compete in the TT, but was certainly a prominent Scottish competitor, and I'm sure someone will have some knowledge of him. Over to Larry and Bill!
