Well the central theme and the date refer to the Festival of Britain, but as to what relevance the bike has I'm not too sure. Wink

As Geoff said, it's a souvenir from the Festival of Britain 1951, but I don't know what the significance of the bike is either.

Oh and by the way it is probably quite collectable and probably worth a bob or two in the right circles.
