ENTRIES INVITED – CONSIGN TODAY

Bonhams is celebrated for its auctions of historically significant motorcycles, and their ‘Holy Grail’ collection boasts some truly remarkable gems. Among these is a 1913 Flying Merkel, owned by notable collector and display pilot Vic Norman, who acquired it directly from the legendary Bud Ekins—famed for executing the iconic motorcycle jump as Steve McQueen’s stunt double in The Great Escape. This groundbreaking American machine is accompanied by a 1913 Wilkinson 830cc TMC Four, one of just a handful still in existence; The 1936 Olympia Show Model Vincent HRD 998cc Series-A Rapide, the earliest complete example of its kind; and a 1928 Brough Superior 1,134cc SS100 Alpine Grand Sport, a matching-numbers model of one of the most coveted motorcycles ever produced.
