Auction House H&H Classics reports a strong start to the season, with a £1.5m sale at the National Motorcycle Museum at the end of March. A total of 240 lots went under the hammer, with the highlight being a 1930 Brough Superior SS100 achieving £241,500, the highest price of the day. Another big seller was a fully restored 1955 Vincent Series C Black Shadow, sold for £35,075, £1075 above its lower estimate. And there was a lot of interest in the charitable auction of the last bike ridden by Hairy Biker Dave Myers: a 2023 BSA Gold Star, auctioned for £18,170, which led to a round of applause in the auction hall.
H&H claimed an impressive 95% sales rate for classic bikes and 78% for vintage scooters, with £1.53m combined sales. Mike Davis, motorcycle specialist at the firm, said: “We’ve had an incredible start to 2025 with our first auction, which was full of collectable classic motorcycles and vintage scooters.
“The high sales rate and packed auction hall clearly shows there’s a strong appetite for the right bikes, including those commanding a six-figure sum.”
The next sale is at the National Motorcycle Museum on 9 July. For more info: 01925 210035; [email protected].
