Following the success of last year’s pioneering event, the Crich Tramway Village-based National Tramway Museum, in conjunction with members of the Vincent Owners’ Club, will be running a second Classic Motorcycle Day at the scenic hilltop venue on Sunday, July 1.
A charitable organisation with an army of volunteers, the museum is dedicated to preserving the history of the humble tram, and the Vincent Owners’ Club is the perfect partner in putting on such a show, where old machines can be parked in period settings to bring on a feast of nostalgia.
In sunny weather, more than 1500 visitors attended last year’s event, when more than 300 classic motorcycles were on display.
