Photo of my mum and dad at the Isle of Man TT 1957. Taken at The Villa Marina where the trophy used to be just placed on a table in the gardens so folk could view it close up - couldn't see that happening today!!

Had to pinch that pic off the net - yeh should have big wheels on the back, ares were open backed as well - so whoever was pushing could jump on when up to speed.
Mine was gloss black made from floor boards with some carpet on with 3"x 3" front axle with some rope to steer. Never saw one with brakes
surprising we never had serious accidents ha ha .....all are yesterdays....
