Talking about collectors of bikes; one of my friends has just bought a 20 year old MV Augusta Gold Series with 24 miles on the clock. Gold anodised magnesium frame and four radial valves per head with head design by Ferrari. He found one other, in Italy, I think, with 6 miles, or km, on the clock. He dare not ride it as it will increase the mileage and lower the value. It is going to live in a hermitically sealed bubble. Is this the future for Vincents?

It would seem that to rise above £80k the bike has to be more than nicely restored. It needs a bit of history such as famous owners or some such. See my previous post where I said it wouldn't reach £90K. The Comets did OK but the star was the Rudge Autocycle that doubled its estimate! The Excelsior Manxman made reasonable money too.
