In pictures: Vintage motorcycles take to the roads

Hundreds of vintage motorcycles were out on the roads in Warwickshire at the weekend, for the annual Banbury Run.

The event, which this year was celebrating its 75th anniversary, saw 300 motorcycles take to the streets without the luxury of features like clutches, gears and modern braking systems.

All the bikes dated from 1930 or before, with the oldest built in 1897.

Organised by the Vintage Motor Cycle Club (VMCC), the bikes set out from the British Motor Museum in Gaydon on Sunday morning, taking a variety of routes before returning to the museum.
