The Brighton 750 Prototype - Coming up for auction...
Seabeowner:
We're all in the wrong business. If you look at HandH terms it says:
Motorcycles
12.5% to the Buyer, 10% to the Seller (minimum £50 to both parties)
So does this mean that it is that £140k +12.5% + VAT (of £17.5k)
And the seller only gets £126k ??

No worries ..about 1:30pm my missus announced I had to drive her in the van to return some play props she borrowed before 3pm...I wasn't best pleased. Missed the sale of the CB350K0 but got back just in time for 750pp .missed the 750K2 though.
My mate Chris was at the auction so when I hear fromhim he may know who was bidding .. One suggestion was George Beale who's now a director at H&H

Amazed at the scabby finish of the pp 750 auction ... same thing happened at the Bonhams sale of the UK press CB750 YLY70H.. I still don't know what happened to that one. Sold but not sold at that auction !
UPDATE ... word on the street is that Brighton bike was won by someone based in the UK

;) lol i hope you are right it would be nice if it was .it should be a national treasure. if only just to show the britts where they went wrong
im surprised that it did not go back to Honda.anyway lets hope we see it in its former glory some day soon

Ash,
I think the 350 K0 only went for £2300
it did look tidy
plus premium etc

I would be very surprised if the winning bidder wasn't an agent for Honda, that belongs in their museum. Strange they didn't get it back at the time, prototypes are usually destroyed.
