Chance to own TT-inspired bike and support 'Wheelie Good Cause'

Charity auction hopes to raise money for Mannin Cancers Support Group

There's a chance to own a TT-inspired model bike all while raising money for charity.

Mannin Cancers Support Group is hosting an auction (29 May) where it will sell off 15 'TT Legends' bikes.

Two special lots - a bike signed by the leading riders - and one celebrating the Isle of Man TT marshals will also be available.

The 15 full sized models have been created to celebrate the most iconic machines to have raced the TT over the past 50 years with their designs inspired by the liveries of their real-life counterparts. 

Julie Stokes is the charity's chair:

The event's taking place at the Opul Mercury Club at The Grandstand.

The auction will be conducted by specialist auctioneer Richard Bromell of Charterhouse Auctioneers and Valuers.

He said: "We are delighted to be involved with this great charity and have already had a lot of interest so we are expecting bidding for the lots to be enthusiastic. 

"Not everyone will be lucky, so prepare for some competition! 

"We are looking forward to what should be a great night and hope to help raise a significant sum for this important cause."
