Shannons rolls out rare bikes
Sydney auction will be full of collectiblesShannons is rolling out more significant classic and vintage motorcycles from two major Australian collections at its Sydney Spring Classic Auction on Monday, October 21 2013.
These include some of the world’s rarest Harley-Davidsons -- four with no reserve -- plus 10 more motorcycles including British Ariel, Norton, Royal Enfield and Triumph models from a larger major Sydney collection of some 60 motorcycles -- all with no reserve.
The two-wheel rollout follows recent auction sales by Shannons of an early Honda collection and a selection of British Matchless and AJS machines from the same vendor and, most recently, nine classic Harley-Davidsons from a Sydney Harley collector at its MotorEx sale in Sydney.
The Harley-Davidson collection was assembled over a period of about 40 years and involved the vendor travelling to many parts of the world to visit motorcycle museums, private Harley-Davidson collections and to meet enthusiasts to seek out rare machines to purchase for the collection. His aim was to have a Harley of each kind and type from the earliest models.
The previous sale of nine machines from his Harley collection attracted International interest at MotorEx, with all selling at or above estimate after being offered with no reserve.
