The brands include BSA, Velocette, Norton, Sunbeam, Ariel, Triumph, Douglas, Brough Superior, New Imperial and Zenith. They were owned by the late John Keeley from Knowl Hill near Maidenhead, Berkshire, who is described by a close friend as a man with ‘a love of old machinery who started his working life in the village garage.’ The collection is being sold as part of the same auction that includes bikes owned by James May and Steve McQueen.
