A Restoration Theatre, giving tips to classic bike enthusiasts, and a second auction have been added to this year’s Stafford Show.
The Carole Nash Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show takes place at the Staffordshire County Showground across the weekend of 17/18 October and features a huge selection of traders and autojumble stands offering “perhaps the widest selection of classic motorcycle goods under one roof, anywhere in the world”.
The Restoration Theatre will be hosted by TV presenter and engineering expert Pete Thorne who will be offering advice, hints and tips on restoring and maintaining old classics.
Another of the event’s most popular attractions is the Stafford Autumn Sale from auction house Bonhams, which takes place on the Sunday. This year there will be an extra sale day, with a 60-strong consignment of mainly American lots going under the hammer on the Saturday, 17 October.
The Lonati collection is estimated to fetch £1 million in total, and features a 1910 Pierce 688cc four and a 1930 Indian 1265cc Model 402 four cylinder combination among a host of rare lots.
