Dunlop’s rare racer at Stafford
A beautiful restored Kreidler, owned and raced by Robert Dunlop, is set to be one of the highlights at the upcoming Classic Motorcycle Mechanics show.
The German-built 50cc bike will be proudly displayed alongside thousands of fascinating machines at the event at Staffordshire County Showground from October 19-20.
The Kreidler currently glistens in a striking and beautiful maroon, the colour it was when the late five-time TT winner purchased it. Before racing it, Robert painted the bike green, but it was later restored to its original maroon.
As well as the special Kreidler 50cc, the showground will also be home to excellent club stands, exciting live action including the wall of death, the Bonhams autumn sale (see separate story), classic competition machines and guests from classic eras of motorcycling.
Throughout the weekend, the event will feature more than 900 traders, dealers and autojumble stands offering a wealth of parts and spares for every project.
This year’s guests of honour are 10-time world sidecar champion Steve Webster, plus the creative engineer and special builder Allen Millyard, who will both be interviewed by compere Steve Plater.
The 26th Carole Nash International Classic Motorcycle Show takes place on October 19-20. To find out more about the show and for advance tickets visit staffordclassicbikeshows.com
Stafford auction proves timely
Stand-out lots at October’s Stafford auction look to be projects, with a 680 Brough Superior – sporting some unusual tank-top art – top of the bill.
While a ‘timely’ late addition from one of racing’s icons will also cause huge interest at the Bonhams event over the weekend of October 19-20.
