To mark 50 years since the introduction of the Norton Commando at the Earls Court Show in 1967, Peter Williams will be guest of honour at the South of England Classic Motorcycle Show and Bikejumble at Ardingly, West Sussex, on Sunday, October 29.
Bikes booked to appear include Peter’s original 1973 JPN Monocoque, a genuine Thruxton Commando, an original 1963 500cc Dunstall Domiracer, one of the first fastback Commandos ever made and a Seeley Commando, and all will take part in the popular Fire-Up Paddock.
Peter will be taking along copies of his recently republished autobiography Designed to Race, which had been out of print for many years, to sign and sell to showgoers.
