Description: This individual commemorative postage stamp features a highly stylized, multi-colored graphic illustration of "Babs", the legendary land speed record car driven by John Godfrey Parry-Thomas. Set against a split backdrop of a vivid green ground and a soft teal sky, the aerodynamic white-and-blue racing vehicle is depicted in motion with its driver visible in the cockpit and exposed exhaust pipes venting from its massive 27-litre aircraft engine. The upper left corner displays a bold crimson denomination reading "30", while the upper right corner features a clean white cutout silhouette portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Running along the lower baseline of the design is the identifying text "John G Parry Thomas 1926 171mph" in a subtle, dark sans-serif font. The physical specimen is in an unissued, mint condition state, defined by sharp, clean paper perforations flanking all four edges.
