The Trophy Room

The club has a large collection of trophies going back to the days when it was known simply as ‘The Bristol Motor Cycle Club’. The earliest is probably the Bristol Motor Cycle Club Challenge Cup presented by James A King in August 1913.

The first trophy to bear the full name ‘Bristol Motor Cycle & Light Car Club’ was the 1922 challenge cup presented by Captain H C Walters for the trial that also carried his name. It’s quite impressive at just over 36cms high and weighing nearly 1½ kg.
