Staffordshire Classic Bike Show/Autojumble - wots it like then??

Thinking about going to the staffs show this weekend, never been before and not been to a classic show or autojumble before - only show I've been to is the NEC one. What should I expect? I don't even know if its indoors or outside, the website tells you very little....

Do bikes get sold there or just bits?

Any of you lot going?

The show of bikes is indoors. Both this show and the one in April have a mix of bikes but this one leans towards bikes from the last few decades whereas the one in April tends to have a greater display of older bikes and, therefore, there is more old Brit stuff, as well as long extinct foreign marques. There is an auction on Sunday ( I think ) but bikes are also offered for sale by stallholders. The autojumble is both inside and outside and is big. Take your own pack up because the catering is very expensive, as is the admission ticket these days. Maybe I'm just a cheapskate. The road outside gets blocked with traffic trying to get to the show so be prepared for queues.

Cheers BB, I'll head along early and take some sarnies then.

Hoping to see some nice 2 strokes from the 70s and 80s and hopefully a few old racebikes too.

I did too

Really liked the Kawa triples owners club stand, those bikes look even better when there's a crowd of them..

Some stunning stuff and some ludicrous prices, an original but un-resrtored Rocket 3 £17,500!!! The Laverda stand appealed to me, no surprise, but they were all bikes that look like they got ridden.
Rubbish pics on the phone I'm afraid

That 6 cyl GSX was amazing - had me fooled for a few seconds as at first glance I thought someone had wedged a CBX motor in there! All in all a good show with some cracking weather too.
