The massive annual end-of-season Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Stafford show is taking its final shape, and the organisers are promising a great family day out. Some very fancy auction items join the usual displays, stands, retail outlets and bike shows, plus there’ll be some top race stars and celebrities present.
James Bond actor Daniel Craig has donated two of his special limited-edition 007 Triumph bikes, which will be auctioned off to raise money for his favourite charity, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. The Scrambler 1200 and Tiger 900 Bond Editions, inspired by the No Time to Die film, will go under the hammer at the Bonhams auction on 12-13 October in Staffordshire. With estimates of £10,000-£20,000, both bikes have Craig’s name on the V5 and include a special off-road riding experience in Wales with James Bond stunt co-ordinator Lee Morrison and stunt double Paul Edmondson.
Away from the auction rooms, the show will also feature appearances from Carl Fogarty and Frankie Chili, reliving their WSBK duels from the 1990s, as well as loads of other attractions. More info at www.classicbikeshows.com.
