During the evening, voting cards were handed out to fellow bikers and spectators who cast their votes for their favourite bike in the line-up.
The winner, gaining £300, The Midge Holloway Trophy and a valet kit courtesy of Muc-Off, was Richard Stephens with his genuine 1960 650cc BSA Spitfire Scrambler (right), one of about 1500 that were built for the American market between 1957 and ’62, and was restored over the last two years.
