From George Formby's 1936 film No Limit - the funniest biking movie of all time.
Formby was the biggest entertainer of his generation so when he made a movie about the Isle of Man TT races, fans flocked to the cinema.
It stars Formby as chimney sweep George Shuttleworth who builds his own 'Shuttleworth special' in his garage for an assault on the TT races.
The Shuttleworth Snap was actually a heavily disguised 350 AJS side valve machine although it looked more like an overhead cam AJS R7 when the film makers were finished tarting it up.
