Last weekend was spent up in Stafford standing on an autojumble stall endeavoring to have a bit of a clear out. Overall the exercise was a success, cash was raised and unwanted parts disposed of.
With the concentration on autojumbling I didn't get much of a chance to wander around the show and when I did it was crowded to the detriment of photography but here are a few images taken during quieter moments...
 |
| This '21st Century Commando' was on the Metal Malarkey stand and looked very right. |
 |
| Vintage and Veteran were offering a very early Royal Enfield. 1904 to be precise. I would have loved to have taken it home but it fell majorly North of my price range. |
 |
| Allen Millyard's beautifully executed vision of what Velocette might have produced had they manufactured a v twin in the thirties. |
 |
| Early 75cc face cam Capriolo. |
 |
| Tiny Italians were out in force. Here a Ducati 50. |
 |
| Bonvicini and Velocette. |
 |
| Detail on the Bonvicini. |
 |
| And finally on the Yeoman's stall this Norton v twin special. Built around running gear that I would best guess came from a WD 16H and fitted with a JAP watercooled engine that probably started out life as an industrial motor the bike represents about the cheapest pre-war v twin Brit you can find at £9750. The bike was tidily executed but let down by the radiators which were fairly out of keeping with the rest of the bike. The offside looked acceptable but the near side stuck out a mile and really was a bit of an eyesore. |
