The Coys auction

Saturday will see Coys, one of the UK’s leading automotive auctioneers, lining up over 100 motorcycles for auction. Several key Italian machines have already been consigned including a stunning Moto Guzzi 8c V8 replica and a 1978 Ducati 900SS. This will be Coys’ second motorcycleonly auction, and the first achieved four world-record prices from just 90 lots. The auction and lots can be viewed with a standard show entry ticket, while access to the auction and bidding requires an auction catalogue (£10 – admits two).
