H&H Classics has unveiled a 300-lot line-up for what is set to be the biggest classic motorcycle auction in the UK when its eagerly anticipated sale takes place at the National Motorcycle Museum, Solihull, on Wednesday 25th March.
A fantastic specification 1969 Egli Vincent Black Shadow, given a guide price of £33,000-£39,000, is entered from the Keith Mason collection.
The auction features 275 classic motorcycles and 27 vintage scooters and is the first of three motorcycle sales H&H Classics is holding this year.
Mike Davis, senior motorcycle specialist at H&H Classics, said: “This is a landmark sale for us, not only because of the sheer number of lots going under the hammer, but because of the quality and variety of entries on offer.
“It promises to be a very special occasion and a must-attend event for enthusiasts and collectors of classic motorcycles and vintage scooters.”
A scarcely seen 1949 Vincent ‘transition model’ HRD Rapide Series C, estimated at £35,000-£45,000, is set to go under the hammer with H&H Classics on 25 March.
Highlights among the staggering number of desirable lots to choose from include a scarcely seen 1949 Vincent ‘transition model’ HRD Rapide Series C, estimated at £35,000-£45,000, and a fantastic specification 1969 Egli Vincent Black Shadow, given a guide price of £33,000-£39,000 and entered from the Keith Mason collection.
Also from the Keith Mason collection is a 1975 Suzuki RE5, the world’s only mass-produced rotary-engined motorcycle, with this example estimated at £8,000-£12,000, and an extremely rare 1946 Triumph Purdy Special, given a guide price of £20,000-£24,000.
Other notable lots include a 1975 Norton Commando 850 Mk.III Interstate, essentially brand-new with just one mile on the odometer and estimated at £8,000-£9,000, a 2016 MV Agusta F4, just three miles from new and estimated at £9,000-£11,000, and a 1929 Harley-Davidson Model JD with an extremely rare Harley-Davidson sidecar, estimated at £24,000-£25,000.
There are also more than 40 entries from ‘The Road and Race Collection’, all owned by a collector of rare and important historic motorcycles.
Meanwhile, vintage scooter enthusiasts also have a wonderful selection of lots to bid on including a rare 1965 Vespa SS90, owned by Paul Melici of PM Tuning and estimated at £14,000-£18,000.
It is joined by a 1958 Lambretta TV175 Series 1, a British-market machine that has been subject to a meticulous restoration and given a guide price of £10,000-£11,000, together with a beautifully restored British-market 1966 Lambretta SX200, estimated at £9,000-£10,000.
