Adding his thoughts to the weekend’s proceedings, event planner Richard Graham said: “It’s been another great weekend for the Telford show, and I thank everyone Classic Dirt Bike editor Tim Britton does his stuff on stage as he interviews a involved for their efforts. Roll on 2017.” fit-looking Nick Jefferies.

SHOW REPORT 55

Bristol classic shines despite the weather A series of stunning classic motorcycles impressed the gathered crowds at the Royal Bath & West Showground, Shepton Mallet, on February 6-7 as enthusiasts descended on the venue for one of the UK’s favourite annual bike events

A Royal Enfield gets a modern version of the feather duster treatment.

he 36th Carole Nash Bristol Classic MotorCycle Show brought together some of the UK’s finest veteran, vintage and classic machines under one roof.

They included three entries from well known collector Henry Body, which drew significant attention over the weekend – particularly his 1913 Williamson, which is one of just a few rare survivors in the UK. Exhibition manager Nick Mowbray said: “There was much anticipation about Henry’s bikes and they proved popular among showgoers, with plenty of people gathered round to get a glimpse of the superb examples.”

Charlie Cannon’s AJS Silver Streak was named Best in Show while the Gold Star Owners’ Club won the Best Club Stand award. The Gold Star exhibition team went for an eclectic mix of machines, showcasing a variety of road and race bikes, including off-road examples. The group’s chairman Ron May said: “It just goes to prove that Gold Stars can do anything.”

While the weather did its best to put a damper on things at the 36th Carole Nash Bristol Classic MotorCycle Show at the Bath & West Showground, Shepton Mallet, on February 6-7, there was plenty to interest visitors inside.

A busy viewing day and sale event for the Charterhouse auction added to the buzz as a collection of barn-find restoration projects and spares consigned from Devon sold for £40,000, nearly three times the top estimate for the lots.

Charterhouse’s head of motorcycles, Matthew Whitney, said: “Both the preview day and the auction were very well attended, and we’re also delighted with our online efforts which saw a record number of clients registering to bid.”

Reflecting on the weekend, Nick added: “Our thanks must go to all the traders and exhibitors who helped us put on a decent show in what were, at times, extremely trying conditions.”

Charlie Cannon shows off his cup after taking the Best in Show award with his AJS Silver Streak.
