£9200....

Postby slparry » Wed Apr 23, 2014 9:23 am

this was my Uncles R69, sold after he died by Bonhams.

I so wish I'd had the £9200 to have bought it :(

That's a beauty. If only I had that sort of cash to throw around!

Me too, quality never goes out of fashion or drops in price. I am sure he had peace of mind and comfort that it was his bike until the end.

Lovely bike, interesting history listed for the auction.
Your uncle must have been an amazing chap to tour the continent on it with only one arm. Respect.
