  • We currently have the contents of FIVE 40 foot sea containers full of British made motorcycles & spares from the 50s through to the early 70’s which include such famous names as Triumph, BSA, Norton, Royal Enfield, AJS and Matchless including some of the more rare and obscure brands like Coventry Eagle and Velocette.
    This massive collection is going to take considerable time to sort and catalogue the individual motorcycles and parts, and as they begin to become available the bikes will be listed on our used bikes section shown below:

    A sea of frames. That's a phrase you don't hear every day. I'll be praying for your success and for your sanity with this massive project. No doubt Hitchcocks will get it done. Thanks for sharing.

      When I was in Year 7 at Primary School, I had a 3 Wheeler, 1984 Honda ATC 70cc, I Rode it to School One Day and Parked it at the School Bike Racks 🤣 🤣 (true story) 👍

    What you have there reminds me of a motorcycle breaker’s yard I used to haunt 50 years ago. It was just a sea of English motorcycles of all descriptions. To think that a lot of this stuff is still out there just waiting to be found. What a find!

    It's hard to believe that every single one of those old bikes has its own story of when it was purchased new and was someone's pride and joy. First rides, lots of thrills, given and received as a gift, you name it. I'll admit, I simply cannot appreciate anything in that pile (I'm no bike expert) but I'm sure there's some parts in there that will really be special to someone.

Old motorcycles can be fairly easy and economical to restore, and frankly, should be. Rock on, you are sitting on a gold mine!👍❤️

    A lot of bikes, some interesting ones and a lot of headaches amongst them. Be interesting to see if there are enough customers wanting to buy and restore so many bikes as most younger people now spend their time phone facing, taking selfies or playing on other electronic devices. Good luck with the sales and it's good to see you rescued so many old bikes and parts.

    • @HitchcocksMotorcycles
      @HitchcocksMotorcycles  Рік тому +1

      Hi Richard, the one collection was from a large dealer in Michigan who had retired many years ago, the parts and bikes had been sitting in shed gathering dust. It was a huge task in itself to just empty the unit and load the containers (including creating a small gravel track road for the trucks to access). However, we plan to make a follow up video going into more detail on the back story as its gathered a lot of interest.
