'I bought my first motorcycle, a 1920 Royal Enfield two-stroke, when I was 12 – for two shillings and sixpence' Captain Sir Tom Moore
Captain Sir Thomas Moore, more lovingly known as Captain Tom, captured the hearts of a nation during lock down with his positivity, charisma and selflessness just when we needed an unlikely hero the most. This evening (21:15), 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?
