2026 – The British Four-Stroke Edition
Introducing our Guest of Honour:
Nick Jefferies
Nick Jefferies started taking part in motorsport competitions in the 1967 at the age of fifteen. Unlike his brother Tony, who went racing, Nick followed the example of his father, who in the 1930s and 1940s had focused mainly on the field sports.
Father Allan, a Scott and SSDT winner, bought him the ex-Gordon Farley Triumph TR20 Tiger Cub Trials during the period that Triumph stopped producing trial engines.
Nick won a silver medal with a 360cc Jawa during the 1974 ISDT in Camerino (Italy). In trials he rode as one of the team with the first Yamaha TY models.
In 1975 he was on the British trial team of Sammy Miller, who managed the Honda trials team.
In 1976 Nick won the Isle Of Man two-day trial.
In 1977 he competed in the World Trials championship together with top rider Rob Shepherd.
In 1978 he joined CCM as their test driver for the new CCM 350T. In trials he also rode with Triumph, Montesa, Armstrong and Bultaco.
