Original sport advertising poster of the Olympic torch relay route map at the 1936 Summer Olympic games, held in Berlin. The poster features a map of the route, running from Olympia to Berlin via Athens, Delphi, Thessaloniki, Sofia, Belgrade, Budapest, Vienna, Prague, and Dresden. The graphics feature a hand holding the torch with a burning flame, designed by German sculptor Walter Lemcke. The 1936 Summer Olympics torch relay was the first of its kind, following on from the reintroduction of the Olympic Flame at the 1928 Games. It pioneered the modern convention of moving the flame via a relay system from Greece to the Olympic venue. Leni Riefenstahl filmed the relay for the award-winning but controversial 1938 film Olympia. The map contains small illustrations of sights across the various checkpoints, including the Acropolis, St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna, and the Brandenburg Gate. The 1936 Summer Olympics (German: Olympische Sommerspiele 1936), officially known as the Games of the XI Olympiad (German: Spiele der XI. Olympiade), were an international multi-sport event held from 1 to 16 August 1936 in Berlin, Germany. Berlin won the bid to host the Games over Barcelona at the 29th IOC Session on 26 April 1931. The 1936 Games marked the second and most recent time the International Olympic Committee gathered to vote in a city that was bidding to host those Games. Hitler saw the 1936 Games as an opportunity to promote his government and ideals of racial supremacy and antisemitism, and the official Nazi party paper, the Völkischer Beobachter, wrote in the strongest terms that Jews should not be allowed to participate in the Games. In a blow to the NSDAP theories, Jesse Owens of the United States won four gold medals in the sprint and long jump events, and became the most successful athlete to compete in Berlin, while Germany was the most successful country overall with 89 medals total, with the United States coming in second with 56 medals.

1975 Ossa MAR, 244 cc. Registration number JCE 57N. Frame number B222922. Engine number M222922. In a bid to emulate the competition successes of rivals Bultaco and Montesa, Ossa hired English trials star Mick Andrews in 1967. Then only 23 but already a proven winner, Andrews set about developing Ossa's existing trail bike into a competitive trials mount, Andrews became the Monarch of the Glens in the 1970 Scottish, a process that culminated in the MAR - Mick Andrews Replica - that carried its creator to consecutive European Trials Championships in 1971 and '72. The MAR put Ossa on the trials map with a vengeance and proved so successful that it remained in production until the late 1970s. This UK bike was first registered in June 1975 and it was used by a marshal at various events to get himself in position (see decals on the body). By 1982 it was with father and son, Brian and Peter Moore of Cambridge, they rebuilt the engine with new piston rings. Followed by a more comprehensive restoration in 1988, there is an MOT on file for 1,320 miles in 1993. Our vendor bought it in 2007 and stored it in a dry garage. Recently recommissioned it would be advisable for the next custodian to undertake their own safety checks before entering this competitive machine into competition. Sold with the V5, old MOT, various receipts, workshop manual and brochure.
1975 Ossa Explorer, 250 cc. Registration number JGM 196N. Frame number B333295. Engine number M333295. Spain's Ossa factory had a relatively brief existence from 1951 to 1984, but in that time produced outstandingly successful competition models for racing as well as enduro and road machines. In a bid to emulate the competition successes of rivals Bultaco and Montesa, Ossa hired English trials star Mick Andrews in 1967. Then only 23 but already a proven winner, Andrews set about developing Ossa's existing trail bike into a competitive trials mount, a process that culminated in the MAR - Mick Andrews Replica - that carried its creator to consecutive European Trials Championships in 1971 and '72. Indeed, the MAR put Ossa on the trials map with a vengeance and proved so successful that it remained in production until the late 1970s. In 1972, OSSA released the Explorer ? a great name for the kind of riding the bike would be subjected to. The intent was to have a light bike that was easy to ride, something between an enduro and a trials bike. This example, first registered on July 1975, is a UK bike, and in 1991 was owned by Patrick Neill of Wokingham who sold it to Kevin Hookey of Bordon in 1998. In 2005 he commenced a restoration of the machine which included an engine rebuild, together with the frame and body being repainted. It was MOT'd at 707 km and taxed that year. Our vendor bought it from in in 2007 and stored it in a dry garage. The mileage is now 809 km. Recently lightly recommissioned it would be advised for the next custodian to undertake their own safety tests before hitting the trial again. Sold with the V5C, 2005 MOT, tax disc and various receipts.
