Helmut Fath URS Sidecar Sells for £102,700
Bonhams have let me know that Helmut Faths Double World Championship Winning URS Sidecar Outfit Made £102,700 at the Stafford show on Oct 17th !!!

Helmut won his Championship in 1968....

Also Driven by Horst Owesle in 1971 to a second World Championship, the estimate placed on this rare machine prior to sale was between £70,000 and £80,000 !

A 1929 Brough Superior Overhead 680 sold for £93,000

Who says there is a recession.

I think the Seeley framed URS, originally ridden by John Blanchard and finally by Toni Jefferies was also auctioned. Any news/price on that?
Thanks

These URS bikes seem to have been bargains compared to a BMW RS 54 and a Brough Superior SS 100 which fetched 143000 resp. 286000 GBP recently at Haynes Museum, Sparkford amongst others during a H&H auction.smilie
