A collection of mid-20th-century British motorcycle sporting event signs and promotional materials, primarily associated with motorcycle trials. The group includes two large rectangular hardboard advertising boards for Avon Tyres, one designated for Observed Section Start and the other for Observed Section Finish, both featuring blue and white graphics with a checkered flag and the slogan to-days leading tyres. Also present is a large advertising board for Motor Cycle News (MCN) on heavy card, printed in red and black, featuring the text Keep Up-To-Date With… Motor Cycle News Every Wednesday—Ninepence and Observed Section Begins. The collection also contains several red rectangular signs with bold white lettering for Section Start and Section Finish. Additionally, there are smaller blue square markers featuring the Avon logo and a white L, along with multiple paper and card promotional flyers for Motor Cycle News bearing the tagline The Paper That Caters For The Sport. The pre-decimal pricing of ninepence on the MCN board suggests an origin prior to 1971, likely from the 1950s or 1960s.
