A barn stash cache of more than 30 rusty and dusty bikes, many of them British two-stroke competition bikes, will create excitement among classic off-road restorers when they come under Bonhams’ auction hammer at Harrogate, Yorkshire, on Wednesday 13 November.
Most of the bikes are at no reserve at this end of season sale. They include Norman, Francis-Barnett, Sprite, Greeves, AJS and BSA two-strokes, plus BSA Triumph and Norton four-strokes. Among the BSAs is a desirable 1954 Gold Star (estimate £2500-£3500) fitted with a BSA B31 engine but also with its original engine.
For those looking for running classics, the sale also includes a selection of restored pre-war AJS singles among early lots.
