The Carole Nash Bristol Classic MotorCycle Show will be celebrating its 40th birthday when it opens at the Royal Bath and West Showground on the weekend of 1/2 February.
To mark the milestone, the show is turning the clock back to the 1970s and 80s, with a themed birthday bash. Dressing up – flares, tank tops, platform shoes, shell suits, New Romantic frilly shirts – is encouraged and there will be a cash prize for the best-dressed visitor on both days.
The show will focus on the likes of Norton, BSA, Cotton and Sunbeam, and private entries will compete for a host of show awards, including the coveted Best in Show.
A quick browse of the A-Z list and all the big-hitters are there, including the VMCC (Vintage Motor cycle Club) and VJMC (Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club).
The organiser says hundreds of traders will be showcasing their wares – spare parts, tools, books, magazines, signs and even complete machines.
