'I bought my first motorcycle, a 1920 Royal Enfield two-stroke, when I was 12 – for two shillings and sixpence'
Captain Sir Thomas Moore
Captain Sir Thomas Moore, more lovingly known as Captain Tom, captured the hearts of a nation during lockdown with his positivity, charsima and selflessness just when we needed an unlikely hero the most. This evening ITV are honouring Sir Tom with a look back at a quite remarkable life ... but did you know that Captain Sir Tom's first motorcycle was a 1920 Royal Enfield two-stroke which he bought when he was just 12 years old back in 1932. Hitchcock's motorcycles are lucky enough to have the exact same two-stroke model in their collection and if you tune in tonight, who knows, you may just be able to catch a glimpse?
'It was broken, so I took it home and managed to turn it into a working, rideable motorbike'
Captain Sir Thomas Moore
Captain Tom has inspired millions over the past few months, and his determined attitude has been mirrored in many of our customers over lockdown in the enjoyment of taking something in need of work and attention and getting it back running again. We'll be watching tonight with interest to get to know him as a genuine Royal Enfield fan and also to learn a bit more about a man who has achived so much in one lifetime.
