About This Item

Gottingen, Germany : Gottinger Automobil - Club, 1927. RARE TLS from Ernst H. Diepholz, Generalvertreter fur Deutschland, B.S.A Motor Bicycles, under his company letterhead, dated 24th Nov., 1927, to British motorcycle racer R.E. Atkinson. Herr Diepholz begins the letter by congratulating Atkinson on his win at that year's Hainberg Rennen ( Atkinson was the winner of the Class B 350ccm race). He then goes on to inform him that B.S.A. is sending him "some spares for your machine free of charge". And concludes by offering to give Atkinson "a special 350 ccm BSA Super Sport motorcycle" should he be willing to enter "the Grand Prix of Europe for motorcycles (which) takes place on the Nurnberg Ring near Cologne on the 2nd or 3rd of July". Those races in 1928 would have marked the 2nd year of racing at Nurburgring ( if they were held- I am unable to find any information on motorcycle races winners, etc.). Along with what were apparently Atkinson's RARE programs for the Hainberg Rennen, the 5th and 6th in this series of hill climb races held in Gottingen, Germany, on May 7th and 8th, 1927 and May 5th and 6rth, 1928. Both programs Near Fine, Dapolin Benzin ( gasoline) advertising sticker front cover 1927 program and rear cover 1928 program., marginal pencil notations with times and other information on the races. Atkinson's name does not appear in the 1928 6. program, however the marginal notations do show him with the fastest time for the 1927 race. A unique and RARE collection of early European motorcycle racing ephemera. . TYPED LETTER SIGNED. First Edition. Stapled Wrappers. Near Fine/No Jacket, As Issued. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
