absolutely sings. I believe they are the collection of a guy called noel Clarke. as you say there are some crackers. should be a good sale but I dare not go as I know I would come home with a truck load. I live around 3 miles from where the ivan mauger collection went under the hammer but I knew if I went there would be a divorce because they were fabulous but big bucks. so good luck to all those that attend and happy bidding.

What a collection !  . . .and such a range of stuff. Enough parts alone to build a dozen or more bikes.
Then there's the race jackets, the photos, posters, and books. And the unique bike collection, - old ('20s), '50s,  and newer, (of the last few decades.)

There's a full day's reading/viewing and more, just to get thru the auction item lists, if you've the spare day or 2. Worth it !

I estimate(very approximately) the sale realised £400000. One 1929 bike went for £37000

Thats a quite fantastic figure. A fitting value to a lifetimes dedication and i hope all the new owners have items they can now treasure for an equally long time.

I have just scrolled through the 13 pages of the sale again- some of the prices the items made are amazing- i reckon i could have under estimated the £400000- anyone want to get a calculator out ??
