Bike insurance policyholders might want to take their Norton motorcycles along to Race Retro next year as the marquee will be the show's feature brand.
Marking 60 years since Norton's Featherbed frame made its debut, Race Retro has chosen the manufacturer for its upcoming event between March 12th and 14th, which will take place at Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire.
The Norton Owners' Club will run the main stand at the show featuring past and present Manx models, a number of John Player Commando Twins and later rotary machines.
Bike insurance policyholders present will also be able to get up close to the Jim Lee Racing Collection, featuring the JL Velocette, the JL Yamaha and the JL Ossa.
A number of racing pros will be on hand to chat to visitors, including Peter Williams, Phil Read MBE, John 'Mooneye' Cooper, Trevor Nation and Keith Heckles, with a special draw expected to be Senior TT 2009 winner Steve Plater, who also scooped the 2009 British Supersport Championship title.
Returning to the show this year is the Ken Fox Troupe Wall of Death, which will display stunts using Indian and early Honda twins.
Those with an interest in cars will be able to step outside and watch a special tribute to the Audi Quattro, while plenty more motoring action will take place on the new indoor Live Rally Stage.
