WHAT TO EXPECT

Classic Bike Insurance

Every year, our team at Footman James are on hand to offer you classic bike insurance quotes and advice.

Not only this, Footman James always aim to impress with our trade stand display as we have won Best Trade Stand Exhibit on numerous occasions. This has included our 2017 win for displaying a 1939 AJS V-4 and a 1947 AJS Porcupine, courtesy of the Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum and our 2018 April win for showcasing a 1963 Marsh MR4 and 1946 AJS Model 18, from our partners at the National Motorcycle Museum.

This year we're taking with us a 1969 Moto Villa, Grand Prix Model and 1969 Jawa on loan to us once again from the Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum.

Traders & Autojumble

Located at the Staffordshire County Showground there’s always plenty of room for traders.

This October, we are expecting to see over 900 traders make their way to the show, including; dealers and autojumble stands.

There is no other place in the UK that you will find as many traders and autojumbles as there are  at the Stafford Motorcycle Show; after all, it is the biggest of its kind in the world.
