I have other MOTORCYCLE, TRUCK & CAR BADGES on ebay, so have a look at my 'Seller's Other items'.
A very rare complete set of the 7 official Car automobile lapel badges from the Ulster TT when it was run in Northern Ireland, orginally at ARDS and then at DUNDROD. Condition as seen. Alll with original fitting. I got the badges framed at a price of £60. It would be lovely on a Fan's wall. Sorry about the Price, but these badges fetch around £50 each.. so 7x£50 + £60 + Free postage = a Good Saving. If you don't like the frame, you can take the badges out from it. But I sell as a set in a frame.
They only produced 7 badges, 5 which have dates on them and 2 do not

The RAC Tourist Trophy (sometimes called the International Tourist Trophy) is a motor racing award presented by the Royal Automobile Club (RAC) to the overall victor of a motor race in the United Kingdom. Established in 1905, it is the world's oldest continuous motor race. The 18-carat gold trophy is based on Giambologna's sculpture of the Greek god Hermes.Series to have featured the trophy include the World Sportscar Championship, the FIA GT Cup, the World Touring Car Championship, the European Touring Car Championship, the FIA GT Championship, the British Touring Car Championship, the FIA GT1 World Championship, and the overall winners of the British GT Championship in the 1999, 2000, 2003 and 2004 seasons. It has been presented to the overall winners of the Silverstone Circuit round of the FIA World Endurance Championship from 2013 on.
The race was first contested on the Isle of Man in 1905 and continued to be held on the island until 1922. It moved to the Ards Circuit on Northern Ireland's public roads in 1928 after an article written by the journalist Wallace McLeod in a Belfast newspaper suggested it occur in the area and the inventor Harry Ferguson helped the RAC to find a suitable track. Donington Park staged the trophy's following two races in 1937 and 1938 after a major accident involving a Riley car during the 1936 edition killed eight onlookers and injured another 25. Following the Second World War, it returned to Northern Ireland and was held on the shorter Dundrod Circuit; a second major crash that killed three competitors in 1955 led the local authorities to bar all future car races on the track. Since then, the race has occurred on permanent racing circuits rather than closed public road tracks.
I offer Combine Postage, to help the buyer save on expenses. Please DO NOT buy items separately and expect the SELLER to offer refunds. I am not a Fan of REFUNDS as ebay takes a percentage of the postage, and upon doing a refund, ebay DOES NOT give back their share. a CHARGEBACK/REFUND fee is applied to the Seller's account. THEREFORE to avoid all of this, do not use eBAY's MOBILE PHONE APP! Open the browser on Mobile/Computer, log into ebay, add the items you want into the basket, Commit to the purchase, but stop, do not pay. On the next page is a Link/button "REQUEST invoice from SELLER". Press it and I will get a notification from ebay that items have sold. I will send you a Combine postage invoice. My eBay account is set up for COMBINE POSTAGE. If you have an issue, (especially non-UK users), log into ebay.co.uk with your username and password, and try here, rather than on EBAY.COM, EBAY.DE, EBAY.FR, EBAY.IE, etc
POSTAGE : Yes. I know my postage is High. Due to the shambles of the ROYAL MAIL / Strikes in December 2022 & Cyber attack in January 2023, UK RECORDED postage did not work. Many buyers complained to the sellers that their items were not getting delivered. To avoid this, I use SPECIAL DELIVERY in the UK. SECURE and NEXT DAY DELIVERY. If you want your items (<£50 in value) to be posted RECORDED, please inform me before bidding/buying. (Do not ask me after the purchase).
DISCOUNT : My Prices are set. eBay is NOT FREE for sellers. We pay Hefty fees. The items on sale were bought over many years at a price, I add 5% for profit/inflation and I add ebay's fee. The price you see is that Total. I only offer discount with private sales.
CAN COMBINE POSTAGE, PLEASE WAIT ON MY INVOICE
Any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.
Good luck and thanks for looking, I am selling more of my BADGE collection, so have a look at my other items on ebay.
