The Classic MotorCycle

News & Events

Bristol is nearly here!

The 2020 Carole Nash Bristol Classic MotorCycle Show celebrates the 40th birthday of the event.

To mark the milestone, organisers are turning back the clock and throwing a 1970s/80s-themed birthday bash and, of course, everyone is invited.

Dressing up is encouraged and there will be a cash prize for the best-dressed visitor on both days. Visitors are encouraged to dig out their best 1970s and 80s clobber… flares, tank tops, platform shoes, shell suits, New Romantic frilly shirts – the lot.

You will also be able to marvel at the finest examples of private collection motorcycles.

Owners spend thousands of painstaking hours ensuring their exhibits are in the best possible condition, ready for display and inspection by the crowds and judges. As expected at the Bristol show, there is a focus on the likes of Norton, BSA, Cotton and Sunbeam motorcycles and many more.

It’s strange how things happen… The other evening, I was sitting in the workshop, trying to figure out how to neatly remove around a millimetre of material from the cutaway on the front of the slide of a 21mm carburettor to make it a little weaker in
