Where can I obtain a photo of the great Mike Hailwood when he finished 19th in the 1957 Isle of Man 350cc TT?

Mike Hailwood, popularly known as ‘Mike the Bike’ was one of the great motorcycle racing champions of all time. His last ride in the Isle of Man TT road race was in 1989 after he had previously returned from retirement at the age of about 48. He finished second to Alex George by about 2 seconds, with Alex on a big four-stroke twice the capacity of Mike’s two-stroke bike. He was very a very popular person, well educated, and a real ‘gentleman’. I would very much like a photo of him as a 17 year old when he won his first silver replica on the Isle of Man TT Mountain Course, on a 349cc Manx Norton, the start of a what was to be a brilliant career in international motor-cycle racing.

Brian, you got it totally wrong. Mike Hailwood’s last ride at the TT was in 1979, he was 39 years old and won the Senior TT riding a Suzuki 500 cc. In 1979 he wasn’t returning from retirement since in 1978 he had raced at the TT in four classes – TTF1, 250, 350, and Senior, having won the TTF1 riding a Ducatti.
