A collection of British motorcycles dating from the 1930s to the 1950s has been dragged from a Somerset barn, and the machines will go under the gavel at Charterhouse Auctioneers’ classic motorcycle auction at Sherborne on February 4.
“Most are complete but will require some recommissioning work before they are put back on the road,” said Charterhouse’s Matthew Whitney. “Others will just need a wipe-over with an oily rag, and some are full-blown restoration projects.”
The earliest of the seven motorcycles is a 500cc 1930 Triumph CSD, closely followed by a 1935 500cc JAP-engined Cotton, and each is estimated to make £3000 to £5000.
