Given that the April 29 event clashed with the All British Rally held over the same weekend, bikes were thin on the ground, with no more than half a dozen on display, but amongst the bikes there, one stood out - a classic Vincent Black Shadow.
A 1954 model, the Black Shadow drew attention all day and the immaculately-presented bike deservedly won the event award for the best motorcycle on display. An interesting feature on the bike was a small 'red devil' mascot mounted on the front mudguard.
The owner had reportedly purchased the bike a couple of years ago, and perhaps more impressive than its condition was the fact it was ridden, not trailered, to and from the event.
Other bikes on display included a pair of Norton Commando 850s, a 1952 Norton Dominator, plus another early Norton in barn-find condition and fitted with a sidecar.
