Provenance: David Brodie Roy James. Roy 'The Weasel' James was the getaway driver for the The Great Train Robbery of 1963. In the same year he was described in a Metropolitan Police wanted poster as 'Roy John James, aged 27, born London, Silversmith, medium to slight build, complexion fresh, hair light brown, eyes hazel. Is a racing driver'. During his thirty year sentence he continued his silversmithing. In 1971 a newspaper documented him making a silver trophy for the British Racing and Sports Car Club. The silver was donated by Rodney Banting with the full permission of the Governor. He was freed in 1976, but returned to prison ten years later due to another offence. He died of heart disease in 1997. The Bracelet was made for David Brodie, a close friend of Roy's, and the silver cup and saucer and other items were given to him as well. David Brodie, known as 'Brode' was born 15 May 1943. He is a British auto racing driver, and is best known for his time competing in the British Touring Car Championship. His best season in the BTCC was in 1985, finishing fourth overall on points.
