Bonhams sale boasts some beauties

Brough, Vincents, Nortons – they’re all well represented in Bonhams’ sale at Stafford over April 23/24. Other eyecatching items include a pair of Sunbeams, the first being a rare and purposefully handsome 1933 Model 95 (the successor to the Model 90) and the other a 1950 S7, which was formerly the property of Robbie Coltrane, remembered by many for his appearances in TV series Cracker and the Harry Potter films as Hagrid – in fact, the lot comes with a picture of Coltrane in costume and a message ‘please look after the Sunbeam.’

There’s lots of other lovelies as well, including some nice AMC raceware – among them a Matchless G50 – and BSA Gold Stars, an MV Agusta ‘Boxer,’ a lovely flat-tank Model 18 Norton and a rare 175cc F3 Ducati.

Just two of the many fabulous motorcycles in the Bonhams sale. The KTT was raced by Les Graham to victory in the 1951 Swiss GP, while the MV was loaned to Phil Read.
