Why No Trophy?


Recommended Posts

I can remember the first time my lad saw Rickardsson (was hooked after that) he was parading around Eastbourne before the Eastbourne/Poole meeting in the back of an open top car with the biggest trophy I've ever seen in my life!

Does anyone have a photo of this mythical monster?........or even one of the world championship trophy itself?

 

I miss the silver wheel............Great Trophy, it had soul!!

Not 100% sure, as I wasn't there to see him receive it, but I think that this is a photo of Tony with his trophy from last season.

 

If I am right and this is the trophy that Tony received...what happened to the one that was used before the GP series. The one that guys like Penhall, Gundersen, Nielsen, Havvy, etc were given? That one can be seen here in a photo with Havvy.

 

As for the wheel...blame Ivan Mauger for "stealing" that one! :P

The trophies shown in Rob and Henry's links are different - totally different shape apart from anything else.

I suspect that, unlike in the old days, BSI provide a unique trophy every year for the winner to keep. The old WC trophy always had to be handed back after a year.
