Historic bikes and vintage costumes were on show alongside their modern counterparts at Belfast’s Waterfront Hall, as Coleraine & District Motor Club got on the starting grid to mark the famous North West 200’s 80th anniversary. The original race, one of Ireland’s oldest, was first run on 20th April 1929, whilst this year’s 80th anniversary event will take place on Saturday 16th May.
