Iconic Auctioneers is delighted to bring its largest ever motorcycle sale to the NEC Classic Motor Show next month on 12th November. With a record entry of 245 auction lots, valued at over £1.5 million, the auction house hopes to continue its world record breaking trend of sales.

 

Mark Bryan, Motorcycle Manager at Iconic Auctioneers comments: “I am delighted to bring our largest ever motorcycle sale to the NEC this year. There is a fantastic selection of bikes of all makes and models with prices to suit all budgets from No Reserve to £250,000. It includes the largest collection of Ducati’s I’ve ever dealt with, along with the private bikes of the well-known motorcycle celebrity Henry Cole. Without a doubt, this selection of bikes will attract worldwide interest.”

Two bikes from Henry Cole, TV celebrity from the Motorcycle Show and Shed and Buried

The two bikes from Henry Cole, the TV celebrity from the Motorcycle Show and Shed and Buried include a 1961 Dresda Triton 750cc, allegedly used by Dave Degens as an early race bike but no paperwork to prove this - guided at £8,000 - £10,000 and a 2012 Norton Commando 961 SE Café Racer 961cc. This ‘one off’ Café racer was built specially for the TV Presenter but comes to auction with zero miles and never started! It even has the factory writing on the headlight 'Henry Cole', so it will require recommissioning before use.
