The Sammy Miller Museum is an historically important collection of road and competition motorcycles which focuses on the golden age of the sport in the 1950s and 60s. The collection includes some of the most outstanding machines ever raced, and almost all are in running order. Many have been lovingly restored, and some have been left with their original patina.

Named the Mechanical Marvel, this machine has a radial four-valve head with dual carburettors and twin exhausts. The prototype won the 1933 Lightweight TT, but was deemed too complex for production and the 2-valve Manxman was developed instead.
