Ralph Avis’ bike was among them, his Triumph Metisse was eventually awarded top prize. Nearby was John Renwick’s Vincent-powered Bonneville Speed Trials streamliner three-wheeler.

The appearance of the Adler to Zundapp Club usually guarantees something very different and this time it was courtesy of club member Bernie Stevens. He had just completed a very unusual combination. The motive power, a 1954 350cc Victoria Bergmeister, first appeared earlier this year. The 64-degree four-stroke V-twin has shaft final drive, but to complement it, Bernie has now finished the restoration of a Steib LS200 sidecar – an eminently suitable match as both were manufactured in Nurnberg in Germany. The outfit garnered a ‘Highly Commended’ award.
