The Cheshire (UK) based auction house, H&H Classics Limited, continues it's unrivaled ability to bring in the big bucks as a 1949 998cc Vincent Rapide sells for $39,554.00.
Somehow H&H attracts the Whales of the motorcycle auction world. Previously the gavel fell on a 1922 Brough Superior SS80 'old Bill' with a jaw-dropping realized price of $455, 271.00, a 1929 Brough Superior SS100 fetched $447, 142.00.
In an April, 2013 auction a 1932 Brough Superior BS4 brought $385, 230.00 and at the same auction a 1948 Vincent Black Lightning sold for the same.
I once sold a pair of 1968 Amal carbs at an auction for $115.00 and I thought that was good.
