Classic bike action action kicks off with a vengeance this week with three major auctions compressed into three days.
In total, 272 two-wheel lots are catalogued to come under the gavels at H&H (RAF Duxford, Cambridgeshire, Thursday 24 April), Cheffins (Sutton, Cambridgeshire, Saturday), and Bonhams (Stafford Showground, Sunday). The total could be nearer 300 with late entries. In addition, all offer an abundance of automobilia lots.
Last year the Bonhams sale turned over £1.4m alone.
Nine of the machines from the three houses have top estimates of £50,000 or more, the lead player being an ex-George Brough 1939 SS100 Brough Superior at £180,000 (Bonhams).
Pictured is the 1939 Brough Superior SS100 which is the star lot at this week’s trio of classic bike auction.
