Marvellous motorbikes at Charterhouse

A superb selection of classic and vintage motorcycles will be sold by Charterhouse at the Haynes International Motor Museum on Thursday, October 14, at noon. “There is a great choice with bikes in all shapes, sizes and conditions” commented George Beale. “What everyone enjoys about our auctions is the huge diversity of machines on offer and with estimates from £100 to £35,000 there is certainly something for every bike collector or enthusiast.” Included in the auction are projects, racers and show bikes. From a deceased estate in Devon, an old barn yielded a collection of Velocette motorcycles and a large number of spare engines, frames and parts. Dating from the 1940s to the 1960s, all are being sold without reserve with collection estimated to sell for £10,000-£20,000. Also from a deceased estate, but in Leicester, there is a Vincent Rapide Series C. From long-term ownership, the owner rode the bike all over the country. Affectionately known as Sir Costalot, due to the money he lavished upon it, this is estimated at £25,000-£30,000. Also from the Midlands are two racers. There is a 1953 Matchless G45 racing motorcycle estimated at £30,000-£35,000 and a 1998 Ducati 916 Infostrada Carl Fogarty Race Replica at £17,000-£19,000. However, perhaps the most unusual motorcycle in the auction is a 1981 Honda CB110N. It was bought by a young man without his parent’s approval. When it was delivered, his father told him in no uncertain terms he would not ride it. It was therefore wheeled into a shed with zero miles where it remained until recently. Forty years later and still showing zero miles, and with its original tax disc, which expired in 1984, this timewarp Honda is being sold without reserve. Viewing for this classic and vintage motorcycle auction is on Wednesda, October 13, at Haynes, Sparkford, Somerset BA22 7LH, or you can download the catalogue and watch the auction live on www.charterhouse-auction. com Charterhouse is now accepting further entries for the next auctions of silver, jewellery and watches on November 4, wine, port and whisky on Friday, November 5, and coins, medals, stamps and collectors’ items in December.
