With total bids exceeding £300,000, the Charterhouse auction of classic and vintage motorcycles at the 38th Carole Nash Classic MotorCycle Show at the Royal Bath & West Showground, Shepton Mallet, over the weekend of February 3-4 was another great success.
Although Charterhouse is based in the West Country, almost 90 machines were entered from all over England, including a trio from France.
Just under £28,000 was the winning internet bid from Germany for a beautifully restored 1940 Indian Chief, and other internet bids from America, the Netherlands and Spain resulted in frantic bidding in the packed saleroom.
