The Spring Classic Bike Show returns to The South of England Showground in Ardingly on Sunday, March 26, to showcase machines from the Golden Age of motorcycling.

The event this year has a Roaring Twenties theme to display motorcycles from the time they ‘came of age’ after The Great War.

Organisers of the show said light and fast models that handled and stopped were available to the public during the inter-war years, including the Brough Superior, Cammy Velocettes and Nortons.

A spokesperson said: “Pre-War motorcycle guru Rick Parkington will be bringing part of his collection. Sunbeam MCC – the leading pre-War club – Norton OC (Surrey) and Roaring Twenties MotorCycle Club will be there too, with a selection of Brooklands inspired bikes. These are likely to include SOS, Rex Acme, Excelsior, Francis-Barnett, New Imperial, Cotton and Blackburne. There will even be an opportunity to hear some of these machines from a bygone age in the Fire-Up Paddock.
