I downloaded the catalogue for the sale, lots of lovely stuff. The sale was a couple of weeks back and I wondered if anybody had some idea of the prices achieved. Personally, I would have loved to have had one of the bikes just to look at but beyond my reach!!! Could not even manage a bike cover that was starting at £600!
thanks

Hi, if you go on to Bonham's web-site www.bonhams.com/auctions, and search for the Autumn Stafford Sale of 15th October 2017, you can see what the auction lots made (lot 139 onwards). £17,250 for the 1997 winning bike for example

This is slightly off-thread but it's interesting to recall that Ivan Mauger started his British career in 1957 as a 17-year-old junior from New Zealand.

Thanks for the info Mick. Had a look and some incredible prices achieved confirming I could not afford most of it! Part of me said that I could have afforded some pennants but then I think what the wife would have said!!!
Toadys4, first time I saw him was about 1966 and he has remained my all time favourite since. On EBay there is a hoodie with an action photo of him in Belle Vue colours air brushed on the back but not sure at 70 I could cut it !!
