Mike Hawthorn Autograph Signed 1956 Photograph Postcard

This rare Valentine postcard features Mike Hawthorn driving the BRM P25 at the 1956 Glover Trophy at Goodwood. Mike has signed to the top right in fountain pen.

Provenance: Obtained by the original owners Father, after he spotted Mike Hawthorn entering the Royal Spithead Hotel, Bembridge, Isle of Wight, around 1956/57. He ran home to get the postcard and waited outside for a few hours. Mike Hawthorn eventually emerged, and rather grudgingly signed it for him.

A rare autograph from the 1958 F1 World Champion who was tragically killed in a road traffic accident in January 1959.
