With the support of event partners Footman James Insurance Brokers, Bonhams Auctioneers & Old Bike Mart the VMCC is pleased to announce the 66th VMCC Banbury Run will take place on Sunday 8th June 2014.

With 600 entrants the VMCC Banbury Run is the biggest gathering & run in the world for machines manufactured before 1931. Operating over 3 different routes which all converge back on Gaydon the Banbury Run caters for those who wish to enter a timed event or those who just enjoy the thrill of riding with so many other Vintage, Veteran & Pioneer bikes. Discounted entry fees will be available for Veteran machines (manufactured prior to 01/01/1915) to encourage more of the very oldest bikes to enter the event.

In conjunction with auction partner Bonhams, the VMCCs Vintage Training Day stays as part of the programme making for a real Vintage Weekend.

All 600 Banbury Run places sell out before the closing date of 28/02/14 so it’s important that entry forms (which are available from VMCC HQ on 03/01/14) are returned as quickly as possible. 
The Bonhams Auction.

Event partner Bonhams will again be holding a sale of Pioneer, Veteran and Vintage Motorcycles the afternoon before the run on Sat 07/06/14. The venue for the auction will be Bonhams prestigious saleroom at Banbury Rd, Shipton on Cherwell, Kidlington, Oxford, OX5 1JH.
