English to Contest Classic Races

Former Manx Grand Prix race winner and FIM Classic Bike world champion Glen English will make his return to the MGP later this month contesting both the 2 Wheeling Classics Classic Junior and Carole Nash Classic Senior races.

English, winner of the 2000 Classic Senior race, will ride for the Melbray London/Watch Vault/The Shed team and will line up on a 500cc Manx Norton for the four-lap Carole Nash Classic Senior race.

For the 2 Wheeling Classics Classic Junior race, he, like many others, will be astride a 350cc Honda K4.

The Cornish rider, a model maker and sculptor, has previously enjoyed an excellent career around the 37 and ¾-mile Mountain Course with strong results at both the Isle of Man TT and Manx Grand Prix since making his debut in 1990.

A decade of competition at the TT saw him claim a best finish of 3rd behind Joey Dunlop and Gavin Lee in the 1996 Ultra-Lightweight 125cc race with fourth taken in the same race the following year.
