I was invited by the ever supportive Vintage and veteran to run a display and sketch on their stand at Founders Day at Stanford Hall on the 2nd September. Founders day has a very extensive bike jumble and is well worth a visit. I had a great day sketching the ever changing roster of bikes Vintage and Veteran have, as well as chatting to people and drinking a lot of tea. Here are the from the day:
1913 Rover TT
(ink sketch)
These Rovers are few and far between these days and this is a fantastic example. I particularly liked the way the oil pump is incorporated into the fuel tank.
For more photos of this bike please go to the Vintage and Veteran website:
1912 FN Single
(ink sketch)
All original condition and in running and road legal condition. I fell in love with this bike and would have snapped it up if I had the cash, as it has so much history and character there is no need to touch it.

Here are a couple more of the bikes that were on display:
1927 Triumph Model N
1903 Royal Enfield
Billed as the oldest running Royal Enfield this is certainly a sight to behold.
The following weekend Vintage and Veteran invited me to Beaulieu to do more of the same, report to follow.....
