Over £1 million of classic bikes were recently sold at a UK auction, with bids coming in from around the world. 

Taking place at the National Motorcycle Museum, Solihull on July 3, the H&H Classics sale lined up over 200 lots, of which around 85% sold. Of these, the five bikes which achieved the highest outcome all came from Vincent Motorcycles. 

Mike Davis, Motorcycle Specialist at H&H Classics said: “Our second motorcycle sale of the year has mirrored the success of the first and shows the market is alive and well for the right bikes, whatever their age and whatever their condition.”

MCN Content Writer, dog dad and motorcycle adventurer - After gaining experience in various technical roles within the motorcycle trade, I joined Motorcycle News as a Content Writer in 2024. My passion for motorcycles began early, growing up in a bike-enthusiast family. My youth was spent riding trails, motocross, and briefly road racing. At 19, after earning my A2 license, I discovered a love for touring, completing the NC500 in Scotland shortly after. Driven by a thirst for adventure, I undertook a ride from the UK to Azerbaijan and back, traversing Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa the following year. My most significant challenge was a 20,000km journey from the UK to South Africa along Africa’s west coast.
