While not strictly Norton Commando related some of you might like to see some very rare motorcycles that went up for auction.
I went to a deceased estate auction yesterday and saw some very serious money paid for vintage and veteran motorcycles.
Alas only one norton up for sale.
Here are a few of the prices in $AUD paid. I kept my hand well in my pockets else I accidently made a bid.
$12,000 '1928 Norton' model 18 - 500cc overhead - needed full restoration
$31,000 '1916 Indian Model 'K' Featherweight' - 250cc 2 stroke
$36,000 '1926 Harley Davidson' - rare O.H.V. 350cc Full resto required
$31,000 '1924 Douglas, Isle of Man' racer - overhead valve, 500cc origional condition
$20,000 '1925 Indian Prince' - single cylinder side valve full resto required
$45,000 '1917 Henderson' - 4 cylinder, 1000cc, 3 speed gear box
$35,000 'Indian Racer'
$55,000 '1924 Excelsior' - 61 cubic inch V-Twin, 3 speed gear box full resto required
$160,000 yes $160,000 'Indian 8 Valve Racer' - 61 cubic inch, 500cc overhead valve
and much much more
Oh and yes add another 11% buyers premium and 1.5% if paying by plastic.
If you want to have a look at some motorcycle history and it's worth a look at the condition and money paid here is the link to the auction
The prices paid on most items were way over the expected value
