For the 38th International Classic MotorCycle show an exclusive room has been given to the Vintage Motor Cycle Club (VMCC), a room previously used for the restoration demonstrations. In the room there is a theme to mark the achievements of Len Hubert Vale-Onslow, who, with his brother designed the S-O-S motor cycle frame at their garage in Hallow, Worcestershire. Gathered together for your delight are some nine or more examples, including the seldom seen ‘LENA’, a sprinter built by Len in the very late 1920’s, successfully sprinted, and repainted at the turn of this century, a collaboration of Len Vale-Onslow and Reg Kelly who were the best of friends.

On display is part of the Reg Kelly S-O-S collection now cared for by his daughter Tracy, who is also showing her OK Supreme formal raced by Len Vale-Onslow.
