these are basically the only pictures i've found so far of Charlie Collier the overall winner of the first IOM TT in 1907. Charlie had the fastest speed of all classes 38.2 mph thus winning the race. he also won the single cylinder class. Rem Fowler on Norton won the multi-cylinder class. Charlie and his brother Harry both entered the race but due to engine seizure Harry had to drop out before the finish. they both worked with their father Henry as the originators and builders of the famous Matchless brand of motorcyle. the first was produced in 1902. not hard to guess then that Charlie and Harry both were mounted on Matchless. Charlie's winning motorcycle was 31/2hp and 421cc with belt drive and pedal assist.
