Weymouth Run photos from the Seventies

Scans of a few photos that came my way recently. As I looked through them everything looked rather familiar. The buildings have got something of a seaside town air about them. I cross referenced against images on the web and the location is Weymouth in Dorset. The VMCC Weymouth Run was for many years one of the major events in the old bike calendar, at least locally anyhow. The event still runs though has been on the ebb recently as events often do after a while.

Judging from the cars in the background and the riders' outfits the era is the seventies.

Late twenties / early thirties BSA.

Dunelt V2 Model from 1934 with Villiers 249cc motor.
Identification courtesy of Lars Erik's Dunelt site.

Exotica - a thirties Indian 4.

Norton postwar single - ES2 Model?

Early thirties Sunbeam.

Sunbeam S8 - funny to think that at the time of the run this
S8 would only just have come inside of the VMCC's 25
year rule.

Finishing up with a pre-War Triumph Tiger 100.
