One of the greatest TT achievements is being commemorated with the release of a new set of coins.
Three decades after Steve Hislop broke the 120mph barrier around the world-famous course, the Island's post Office is marking the triumph with a new coin and stamp pack.
The pack consists of two £2,00 coins and a stamp remembering 'Hizzy's' lap record from 1989.
Maxine Cannon, General Manager, Isle of Man Stamps & Coins, said: ‘Coin and stamp collections like this always prove a big hit with fans so it’s fitting to mark the milestone of such a special landmark in TT history.
Steve Hislop’s 120mph Lap can be ordered from www.iomstamps.com/hislop.
