The late, great John Surtees is to be honoured at this year’s Classic Bike Live this October. With special thanks to the Surtees Foundation, a collection of six rare machines will be on display, including an MV Agusta 500cc four-cylinder machine he rode during the 1960 season, a Norton F Type – the one he was to have ridden in 1955 before Norton disbanded its race team – and a Triumph Tiger 70 of the type he used to make his road racing debut in 1950.
Guests of honour at the show, to be held at the East of England Arena on 28/29 October, are John McGuinness and Colin Seeley.
