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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britmet Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 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 ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racers and royals Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 Wow !! what a collection- took me 30 minutes going through it. If there was an estimate does anyone know what the World final programmes( some signed by Freddie Williams) lots 23 to 33 would be listed for ? I wonder if there are any reserves for the lots ?
