JAMES ROY: (1935-1997) British Formula Two Racing Driver, Silversmith and Criminal, a member of the Great Train Robbery gang of 1963. James was used as a getaway driver in the theft and was also responsible for uncoupling the train carriages. Vintage signed and inscribed Christmas greetings card, the folding small oblong 8vo card featuring a colour illustration to the cover of an oil painting depicting Phil Hill driving his Shelby-Cobra racing car at speed during the 1964 Targa Florio. Apparently inscribed and sent to fellow Great Train Robber Ronnie Biggs whilst in Wandsworth Prison, James has signed the card, beneath a printed greeting, in bold blue ink, 'Ron, My sincere best wishes to you. Hoping you're keeping well and family to. (sic) This is the second, so lets hope the next one's a little better. Your friend, Roy'. Some light staining to the edges, only very slightly affecting the paraph of the signature. Together with Buster Edwards (1931-1994) British Barman, Florist and Criminal, a member of the Great Train Robbery gang of 1963. A printed 4to edition of Flicks magazine, November 1988, featuring a colour advertisement for the soundtrack to the film Buster and an image of Phil Collins in costume as Edwards, to the back cover, signed and inscribed by Edwards in bold black ink to a clear area '….Why Me! Buster Edwards'. G to VG, 2
