Stanley Woods autograph, biography and photographs, his ink signature attached to the frontispiece of 'Stanley Woods - A Short Biography' by W.F. McCleery, Ulster Folk & Transport Museum 1987, 40 pages mostly illustrated, a 1935 photograph of him with his 'Monster' Moto Guzzi digitally reprinted, 6.5 by 9.5in. and mounted for framing; also two small original period photos, one of him driving an Adler sportscar in the 1935 Tourist Trophy at Ards, the other of him in the 1951 Hurst Cup Trial at Conlig near Belfast, largest 3.5 by 2.5in. (4) With his glamorous wife and lifestyle, Dublin born Stanley Woods was the Barry Sheene of the pre-WWII, golden age of British motorcycle racing. Yet his results were more John Surtees-like, with his 1939 record of ten T.T. wins not being beaten until Mike Hailwood's victories in 1967, then later equalled by Giacomo Agostini in 1972.
