Hi Kim, sincere condolences on the loss of your husband.
The link you posted didn't show up. Maybe because it is your first post. I was able to find this video discussing the collection.
Our Web Master Jerry (@webmaster) should be able to post the link to the auction site on your behalf, if you reach out to him.
Hold my keyboard and watch this! 🙃

No Suzuki made the VanVan Miles.
There was a Vincent 1000cc black shadow? Here for sale a few decades back maybe less.
25k was the ask (dealer) could possibly have put it on the mortgage at the time.
Had I known of the option.
And apart from the appreciation aspect it would have been an awesome bike to own and mostly ride.
The immaculate 63? Norton Manx clubman (never raced) next to it possibly would have been an even better deal at 17k.
In 79 I watched a Vincent and a Norton with a couple of period riders at Bathurst. (The world's best racetrack!)
They clocked 150mph on Conrod straight.
And sounded amazing from the top of the mountain.

Bruce, I know about the Suzuki Van Van's, as my wife and I bought 2 brand new 2017 Van Van 200's, after owning 3 of the Yamaha TW200's.
And, I used to own a 1953 Vincent Black Shadow, that when I sold it, at a buddy deal, it went for $88k to a bloke in the UK, and my '47 Ariel Square Four, and '74 Norton 850 Commando both went to a mate down on your continent.
Lucky for me, the shipping company that handled all three of those bikes came the same day to crate them up for the two different buyers, then they spent about 6 hours here crating these bikes for shipping...the Vincent to the UK and the Ariel and Norton to Oz.
