Unsurprisingly, the most expensive bike in the list is a 1929 Brough Superior SS100, which was actually only registered in Oxfordshire in 1944 and features a frame slightly different to standard. Quirks aside, it’s expected to reach between £240,000 and £280,000.

It’s been owned by the same person for over 40 years and was restored to its current condition more than 30 years ago.

Joining this are four Vincent Black Shadows in various states of repair – each commanding a different asking price. One of the quartet comes from 1951 and is a Series C barn find. It’s been off the road since the late 1970s, however still rolls freely and features sales receipts as far back as 1955. It’s yours for between £25,000 and £30,000.
