VINCENT HRD RAPIDE EXCELS AT SHANNONS AUTUMN AUCTION
Shannons Timed Online Autumn Auction was a big one for fans of classic and collectable motorcycles, with a diverse array of bikes offered and some impressive prices achieved.
Conducted from 17 to 24 May, there were 41 motorcycle lots on offer, covering everything from a tiny Honda Motocompo to a blinged up Harley-Davidson Panhead tourer.
Amongst the more desirable consignments were motorcycles and sidecars from the collection of Bruce Armfield, including a rare C1914 Hobart two-stroke single, a C1955 Triumph T100 and two German-made Steib sidecars. Leading the way, though, was a 1949 Vincent HRD Rapide.
