Roger Marshall, 1980s race ace and 12-time British champion, will be the big attraction as Newark Showground hosts the event that kick-starts the classic motorcycling calendar.
The Carole Nash Classic Bike Guide Winter Classic takes place on 4-5 January and features display machines, trade stands and autojumble, as well as former track star Marshall – who will be talking to fans and show-goers about his illustrious career.
“Roger Marshall is right up there as one of the most successful Britons ever to have competed on two wheels,” said Nick Mowbray, exhibition manager.
“He is a genuine legend of British motorcycle sport and we can’t wait to hear his stories from the good old days.”
Scooter sport celebrities Norman and John Ronald are also set to participate in a special Q&A session. The Ronald brothers achieved success both as individuals and as part of Team S Equipe. The pair will present trophies as part of Scooter World – a dedicated area that will showcase many of the UK’s major scooter clubs and individual private entries.
“The superb indoor facilities at Newark Showground make this the perfect location for a winter show,” added Mowbray, “and with all the action located within the halls, walking round and feasting your eyes on the stunning selection of classics makes for the perfect winter warmer.”
Discount advance tickets – priced at just £7 for a one-day pass – are now on sale at www.classicbikeshows.com, or can be purchased over the phone on 01507 529529.
