ISLE OF MAN POST OFFICE CELEBRATES THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE MANX INTERNATIONAL MOTOR SCOOTER RALLY


The eight-stamp issue, Isle of Man International Scooter Rally, is a fun and vibrant collection which features standout moments from the history of the gathering.

They include the iconic Vespa display team pictured at Noble's Park in Douglas in 1958; Neville Frost, who smashed the six minute barrier for the Druidale circuit; and the 1957 Ramsey Sprint when the rally – supported by TT legend Geoff Duke – returned after a year off due to the seamen's strike.

The bi-annual event has huge sporting and cultural significance on the Island, with a history which dates back to the 1950s, and was once described by the chairman of the Isle of Man Tourist Board as 'the most important cog in the mosaic of Manx tourism'.
