Had a preview of bikes in the auction at the East of England Showground for tomorrow, here are links for descriptions:


Jota has Mikunis & plate with Kieth Nairns plate on the handlebar clamp - looks like the nicest of the three and appears to have been used , but looking at the speedo not much since whatever has been done to it (but can't account for correctness as not a qualified rivet counter)
Blue 3c - left exhaust looks to have been hotter than others, also rear light mounting doesn't look as if it was great before refinishing which seems an odd approach.

A couple of pictures taken today - I have a few more but filled the allocation below.

Doesn’t look like any sold?
Watched online, results as follows:

3c = UK £7500 + commissions & vat - £8625
Jota = £10000 + etc - £11500
100 Sport = £1500 + = £1725

They probably sound about right assuming bikes are ok do you think?

Most sold around low estimate with a few exceeding top & some bargains assuming they were up to scratch, the last entry the BMW (C3??) was about £500 I think, the nice Commando fastback with good rebuild in 2015 costing £15k went for £7k.

I guess they haven't updated the auction results yet
 
Whole lot of unsold bikes.
Paul will be pleased.
I'm pleased that they didn't sell for stupid prices, I'm sorry that they'll be off the road a bit longer, or for ever.
I'm trying to be sad for the people putting £20 000 or more in dubious "Jotas" when a Keith Nairn stamped bike, genuine Slaters, fetches half that.
Mostly sad for what it says about our little world.

Series 1 Jota with Series 2 style tank + grab rail with after market indicators, looks a nice bike for the price 👍
