Vintage scooters, ebikes and a penny farthing are among the lots in the latest Mitchells’ Maritime & Transport Sale.
The 10-day online only auction, which runs from today, May 10 until May 20, includes the penny farthing bicycle, with hand crafted restored wheels. It has an estimate of £500 to £600.
Buyers looking for motorised wheels have five vintage and modern scooters and motorbikes to choose from.
Vintage scooters include a head-turning vintage 2006 Piaggio Vespa LX50 scooter with an estimate of £400 to £600 and a 1999 Yamaha YN50 Neo’s 50cc moped scooter, with MOT and 4,111 miles on the clock, estimated at £600 to £800.
There’s also a 2017 Lexmoto Venom Strike 125cc motorbike with 19,000 miles, log book and MOT which is expected to make £700 to £900.
There is also an ELife 20″ Tourer power-assisted folding electric bike, which comes with parts from another unassembled Elife Tourer, which should make £150 to £250.
Collectors of vintage signs will love the original 6ft by 4ft Esso tin advertising sign estimated at £500 to £600.
