I got this email from the ACE Cafe, you can too if you sign up with them, and it sounds like an interesting event, covering Classic cars and Motorcycles.
Wouldn't mind going myself but theres bikes to get ready for the Scottish Bike Show in March...
Race Retro 2011 - Ace Cafe London & Coventry Transport Museum
The iconic Ace Cafe London returns to Race Retro 2011 with a bang when the three day historic motorsport event returns to Stoneleigh Park from 25-27 February as the sponsor of the new "Fire Up Paddock". Classic cafe and road racing bikes will be brought back to life giving visitors the opportunity to hear the motorcycles, as well as see them in all their glory, to include some unique Italian legends raced by esteemed guests such as Giacomo Agostini.
