Antiques & Collectables

New Stour & Avon, July 30, 2021 Antiques & Collectibles Lots sell Rapide-ly at auction

The Charterhouse specialist auction of classic and vintage motorcycles at the Haynes International Motor Museum was a huge success, totalling £365,000. “There was a great line up of motorcycles from the 1920s through to modern superbikes” said George Beale. “They were also in all shapes, sizes and conditions!” Top lot was a recently built Manx Norvin – a hybrid bike with a Vincent engine and a Norton frame. Having been built for display the owner had never ridden it. Selling on the hammer for £43,000 one of the first things the new owner did was to take it for a short ride. Also in the auction, a 1947 Vincent HRD Rapide with a Watsonian sidecar, in the same ownership since 1965, sold for £29,750, a 1974 Ducati Sports, owned from when it was just two years old, sold for £28,000, and a 1962 BSA Rocket Gold Star made £18,000 selling to an Australian collector. Charterhouse are now accepting entries for their next specialist auction of classic and vintage motorcycles at Haynes on Thursday, October 14 and for their next specialist sale of classic and vintage cars, also at Haynes, on October 5.
