Cheffins’ Cambridge Vintage Sale at Sutton, near Ely on the 27 April will include 39 motorcycles.
The highlight, according to the organiser, is a 1958 125cc Bialbero Grand Prix Ducati. This model is one of a few machines which were sold off to private buyers when Ducati withdrew from racing at the end of 1959. In its current ownership since 2011, the Ducati has participated in the Festival of 1000 bikes twice, the Ducati Museum UK event at Silverstone in May 2011, a Sammy Miller Museum open day and has won several awards including Best European at the 2011 Footman James NEC show.
It has also appeared in various publications including Mick Walkers Ducati The Racing Story and Ducati and the TT by Greg Pullen. It has an estimate of £48,000 – £52,000.
Also to be auctioned is a collection of eight machines from the 1930s all from the same owner which are priced at up to £22,000 apiece.
