Motorcycle auction – Saturday, 17th February, 2018
On the two-wheeled front, Coys’ auction is recognised as the only quality classic motorcycle sale to be held in the Capital and takes place also on Saturday 17th at the MCN Carole Nash London International Motorcycle Show.
The sale features a selection of stunning, rare and unique motorcycles, including a 2009 Triumph Bonneville Bud Ekins Desert Scrambler Special, formerly the property of Brad Pitt.
