LAS VEGAS 2012: BONHAMS

Cool toys; Bonhams always has the best automobilia...this one kickstarts the bike and rumbles off!
One of a pair of Norton Manxes, this one restored
The incredible condition of the 1906 Indian Camelback has to be seen up close...
...although even from a distance, you can see how complete and correct it is.  A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, for someone...
Ruffians!  Restorers!  Riders!  Madden and Huntzinger...
Chris Carter jokes with the ex-WD BSA M21
Coventry Eagle 'Flying 8'
Ben Walker and Malcolm Barber discuss this original-paint Indian Board Track racer, owned by the Du Ponts since the 1950s; hard to get better provenance than that!
The unrestored Manx from the Du Pont collection
Merkel motor on an Indian bicycle
Late-entry Brough Superior SS100 with MX engine
And a very tasty machine it is...
Ner-a-Car, Scott, Indian
'47 Norton Inter with 1700 miles; Ben Walker wants it...
One for the history books, completely original, 65 years old
I like it too!
New York, 1951...a great place to ride your '39 Triumph Tiger 100 with a bronze head...
Matching up parts to bikes...so many spare engines and parts from the Du Pont family...
1923 Scott Squirrel in lovely condition, from the Isle of Man
Triumph Dragster; 60s supercool
1940 Indian Sport Scout front end; the rest of the bike is there too!
