Douglas Motorcycle Company: A British motorcycle manufacturer from 1907 to 1957 based in Kingswood, Bristol. The company also built a range of motor cars between 1913 & 1922. During WW1, Douglas was a major motorcycle supplier to the British Army, making 70,000 vehicles for military use. After the war Douglas motorcycles became popular in dirt track racing and other racing events including the Isle of Man TT when in 1923, they achieved their first senior Isle of Man TT victories. The trophy winner, Tudor Thompson, was a works racer for Douglas Motorcycles and is noted in the history of the Douglas brand: “Douglas rider, Tudor Thompson went on a solo & sidecar World Record-breaking spree at Brooklands in Autumn 1921”. Brooklands Racetrack: Brooklands was a 2.767 mile motor racing circuit & aerodrome built near Weybridge, Surrey. It opened in 1907 and was the world’s first purpose-built “banked” motor racing circuit. Many motoring world records were set at the track which could accommodate 10,000 spectators. Both motor car & motorcycle racing events were regularly held at the track which at the time was arguably the world’s most famous racetrack. Brooklands last hosted motor racing in August 1939 and never re-opened after WW2. Part of the track now forms the Brooklands Museum, a major aviation & motoring museum. Summary: These early bronze plaques won at Brooklands are very collectable and highly sought after. THis particular example will also be of particular interest to collectors of memorabilia relating to the Douglas Motorcycle Company. Good luck!
