The photo is not quite what it seems.

It's of  music, stage and film performer George Formby in the 1935 film “No Limits”  where 'George Shuttleworth' a chimney sweep from Wigan dreams of racing in the Isle of Man TT...

Formby was a huge star in the 30's and 40's.

This guy does a ‘look-a-likely’ thing of him & is at pretty much all the events around the IOM at both TT & Manx GP

Does he sing "Leaning on a lampost" whilst strumming a ukelele?

Picture taken at the BMC Longbridge factory - the building behind is the 'new' Drawing Office.

Now gone as part of the overall site redevelopment.

A publicity stunt when the car was introduced?

Here's John Surtees at Brands Hatch setting a new record for sub-1000cc cars.
