I noticed these trophies casually on display in a B&B near Edinburgh I stayed at yesterday. I haven't done any research on them yet but thought they might be of interest to some here :







Also what looks like an interesting souvenir ?

Top one is a great pot!

I have to admit most modern trophies are utterly uninspiring, for any kind of race apart from those with significant history like a TT, Le Mans or certain F1 races, most of them are plastic track layouts with a sponsor.

Some of the older ones from watching f1 over many years are fabulous trophies, beautifully designed and put together, i fail to see any real highlight from modern ones, they might as well not bother!! I cannot imagine they even look nice in a trophy cabinet!!

Thanks for that. Yes, I think there could be a close family connection to the place I stayed.
