A STELLAR collection of vintage and modern motorcycles are set to sell for tens of thousands at auction.

Several motorcycles dating over the last century are up for sale next month in a special auction arranged by Dorset-based auctioneers Charterhouse.

“There is a fabulous selection of motorbikes from most decades over the past 100 years,” said Charterhouse founder Richard Bromell.

He added: “There are show bikes, race bikes, restoration projects and daily riders with estimates from under £1,000 to £30,000.”

The earliest bike in the auction is a 1925 Douglas TS. From a collector in Wales, this early bike is estimated at £6,000-7,000.

Moving forward to the 21st century and a Harley-Davidson made into a Bobber in 2015 is ready to hit the road and is estimated at between £8,500-9,500.

The auction, on Wednesday October 5, is being held at the Haynes International Motor Museum. Viewing for all the bikes at Haynes is on Tuesday 4 from 10am-4.30pm and on the auction day from 10am.
