Found these tonight in the drawers, a vintage motorcycle card game. Don't know the rules. Anyone?

Yo! Wayne used to have a game like this but for Cricket players. You have to get the 6a / 6b / 6c /6d together etc (see how they give you hints at the bottom for which card matches?), and I think, they are like full house and they all have something in common. Can't remember all the details, but I'm sure it was from a cereal pack and you had to collect them and swap them with others. Looks similar in style - not sure if it is the same principle? I'm sure I've seen a card shop somewhere near world square...
Those are so amazing. I had footballers and sports stars versions when I was a kid, called Top Trumps. The bike one is much cooler. Worth framing under archive glass and putting on the wall, methinks.
I've never seen them exactly like this, but what you do is deal the cards out, two players only, and keep them to yourself, don't let the pother player see. And you hold tham stacked, not spalyed, so you can only see the top card. You then pick one of the categories, you think is the strongest and say, for instance, 'Top speed, 137mph'. If it's quicker than the top card of the other player you win his card. The winner always chooses the category. So if the other plater had 140mph, you'd give them your card and they'd then choose their strongest category. Keep going till someone holds all the cards. There should be about 40 in a pack.
Got it?

its called super trumps.
you call out the statistic that you want to win.
for example if the card your holding has a great top speed.. you say top speed 93mph and hope that the person your playing has a LOWER top speed. IF in fact the opponent has a lower top speed you win the card. and if you loose you hand over yours.
you can play with as many players as you like.. but the idea is to end up with all the cards.
I just purchased a NEW top gear PACK...
good luck
