This set from Liberia is truly quite amazing... I figure that their are 6 mistakes on these stamps. Only ONE stamp from the set is 100% correct... Who wants to start guessing what the mistakes are??

on the bmw the cable runs across the mudguard to
the other side of the bike.....screech crash.
on the rolls royce there is no clearance on front mudguard
(only for riding in straight lines?)
Did rolls royce make motorcycles?
I think Henry Royce mucked around in those
flying machines, which eventually killed him.
The HD 1960
looks as if it has a disc brake on front wheel,
were they available then?
There is no ashtray on the Japanese 1907 zenith?

Couple of correct ones their.. 1. Rolls Royce never built motorcycles... that is a Brough Superior that George Brough made for a bike show. He called his machines "the Rolls Royce of motorcycles". 2. Yes that is a Disc brake on the HD, so it can't be 1960. Two down 4 to go.... and it was Rolls that was the fly boy showman... Royce was just a hard working engineer  Regards Gavin |

The Brough Superior Had J.A.P. engines that were a lot taller than that? |

Brough Superior used Matchless and J.A.P. engines of various types for the normal production road bikes, but he was a huge showman so he always tried to make a splash at the British bike show so he built bike specially for the shows. That one is I think called the Brough Superior dream and has a 4 cyinder opposed engine. Like two BMW twins one on the top of the other. So the bike is fine.

VERY well done Rod you got what I thought was going to be the hardest one!
So to recap...
1. Rolls Royce never built motorcycles... that is a Brough Superior.
2. Disc brake on the HD, so it can't be 1960.
3. The Zenith was made in England, not Japan!
4. The dollar VY should be Dollar V4.
5. ????
6. ????
