Eldee-2 Isle of Man TT Posters

Bill Swallow tipping into The Creg-ny-Baa (Manx: rock of the cow) Isle of Man, aboard Eldee-2 in the 201 Classic T.T.. The Creg is the first very-heavy braking area on the T.T. course descent. It is named for the nearby Keppel Hotel, and is situated between the 34th and 35th Milestone racing roadside markers on the Snaefell Mountain Course. Photo Credit: Dave Kneen manxphotosonline.com

Bill Swallow gets some air over Ballaugh Bridge aboard aboard Eldee-2 in the 2014 Isle of Man Classic T.T.. Ballaugh Bridge is hump-backed bridge over a stream between the 17th and 18th mile milestone road-side markers on the Snaefell Mountain Course in Ballaugh village.

IOM Classic TT campaign | The works

Eldee-2 Velocette racing on the Isle of Man! A set of four posters, hand-signed by the rider Bill Swallow, designed to commemorate the VRNZ, Isle of Man Classic TT 2014 campaign. The action photos feature Bill Swallow whistling round the mountain course aboard Eldee-2. Flying over Ballaugh bridge, rounding the bungalow, and tipping into the Creg. I searched out the most spectacular shots of Bill Swallow racing the handbuilt Eldee-2 250 Special Velocette in the Isle of Man Classic T.T. Junior race, August 26, 2014. The posters were designed to be gifted to the project sponsors and supporters-in-kind as a premium acknowledgement of support and thanks. To finish the presentation and add value to the posters Bill Swallow signed a numbered edition of 25 of each of the four kinds.

The action photos were taken at four signature locations on the Isle of Man course, two renowned corners; The Cregg, and The Bungalow and airborne exiting Ballaugh Bridge. The design and typography of the posters and the Eldee Velocette branding are an homage to the style of Isle of Man T.T. posters from the 50s and 60s.
