Cheffins’ Cambridge Vintage Sale at Sutton, near Ely on 27 April saw a number of the world’s most unusual classic and vintage tractors, alongside vintage motorbikes, classic commercial vehicles, petroliana and collector’s items go under the hammer, grossing over £1.5m in total.
Among the motorbikes, a collection of eight pre-war machines from the 1930s, all from the same owner, sold for high prices, according to Cheffins. They included two pre-war Norton International examples, which both saw long bidding battles between buyers, eventually selling at £25,200 and £21,200 respectively with a round of applause at the fall of the hammer on both.
