Among these will be seven bikes owned by local David Wood, 56, including a 1965 BSA A65 that has been in his possession since he was 17 years old. It is one of his most prized possessions and, despite being wrecked on a number of occasions it’s now in pristine condition.
Also at the show will be the new Classic Scooter World hall, where classic and custom scooters will be displayed. Already booked to appear is a Vespa SS180 that was owned by Peter Quaife, the original bass player of The Kinks.
The show is still open for club and private entrants and cash prizes will be available for best displays and the finest motorcycles and there’s free parking too. Show opens 9am to 5pm on the Saturday and 9am to 4pm on the Sunday.
Adult tickets cost £8 while children go free! More information from www.classicbikeshows.com
