THE GREAT DAYS OF MOTORCYCLING CLASSIC MORRIS

LESTER SHOWS THEM

A RIGID AJS MAKES LESTER’S DAY WORDS LESTER MORRIS

The first Sydney Motor Show was held in 1911, but no-one seems to remember much about it, which should be no surprise, because, as far as I know, no-one who was there at the time is still with us. But a recent discovery of an old catalogue from the show mentions that there were no fewer than 200 vehicles on display at the show, from a staggering number of 89 manufacturers! We can only imagine what some of those motor vehicles on two, three or four wheels looked like, but we don’t know how popular that first Motor Show may have been.
