Buntingford Classic Car Show

We are excited to announce that on Saturday, 6th September, Buntingford will host its annual Classic Motor Show from 10am to 4pm.

As in previous years, the Royston & District Motor Cycle Club will proudly display four classic motorcycles. If you own a motorcycle that fits this category and would like to showcase it, please get in touch with Alan Evans.

We look forward to seeing your classic motorcycles and making this event a memorable experience for all attendees.

The club understands that you may not be able to spend the entire day at the show. If this is the case, we have made arrangements for you to drop off your bike at Buntingford. We will then ensure you get back home and pick you up again at 4pm when the show concludes.

Additionally, the club is seeking volunteers who can spare an hour to man the stand and answer questions about the club and the bikes. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. If you are available, please reach out to Alan Evans.

We look forward to seeing you and your classic motorcycles at the event!
