Millyard and Cole to headline two-wheeled showcase at Wilton Legends

The inaugural Wilton Legends at Wilton House this June 19 to 21 is not just a celebration of four wheels. We are absolutely thrilled to announce that the two wheeled world will be spectacularly represented on our Legends Stage by a dynamic duo who perfectly embody the spirit of engineering brilliance and adrenaline fuelled adventure.

A true genius of bespoke motorcycle engineering, Allen Millyard is bringing his astonishing creations to the magnificent grounds of Wilton House. Operating out of a remarkably modest home garage, Allen possesses the unparalleled vision and mechanical skill to build completely road legal motorcycles out of almost incomprehensible engines.

Visitors will have the incredibly rare opportunity to witness his magnificent Flying Millyard in person. This awe inspiring machine features a colossal five litre V-twin engine ingeniously created from two cylinders derived from a 1942 Pratt and Whitney radial aircraft engine. The sheer scale and ingenuity of this motorcycle must be seen to be truly believed. His beautifully bonkers portfolio also includes a monstrous Viper V10-powered motorcycle alongside breathtaking custom Kawasaki engine conversions (below) that defy convention. Hearing Allen discuss his unique design process and fearless engineering ethos will be an absolute revelation for any dedicated motorsport enthusiast.

Joining Allen on the Legends Stage will be the beloved television presenter and lifelong motorcycle fanatic Henry Cole. The pair are frequent collaborators and share an insatiable passion for pushing mechanical boundaries. This shared drive recently culminated in them setting a thrilling tandem motorcycle world speed record together. Henry will be on hand to discuss their extraordinary high speed adventures and help explore the brilliant madness behind the Millyard engineering philosophy. Prepare for a captivating conversation about mechanical passion and fearless innovation. Join us this summer to hear these extraordinary stories unfold in person.
