Where can you find a bargain these days? Specifically, where are the classic motorcycles being sold at fair, not inflated prices? The answer, it appears, is an auction that’s a bit out of the way. Off the radar, as the saying goes.
That’s what appears to have happened at the David Lay Auctioneers Antiques & Interiors sale that took place in Penzance, Cornwall on 20 July. Usually it’s items such as furniture, household and the like that go under the hammer here, but this time there were nine classic motorcycles from a collection.
Here are the results – definitely some bargains in there:
