Quasar Comes to Charterhouse

A super rare 1980 Quasar is entered into the Charterhouse auction of classic motorcycles on 9th October at The Haynes Motor Museum.

“Distinctive and memorable is certainly one way to describe it.” Commented head of motorcycles at Charterhouse George Beale.

The Quasar was a British designed and built feet forward motorcycle designed by Malcolm Newell and Ken Leaman in the 1970’s.

Looking futuristic from the start, it had a semi-enclosed body with a roof and windscreen. Having a low riding position and with its weather protection it was highly innovative in its day.

The striking design influenced later vehicles such as the BMW C1 scooter.

Estimated at £6,000-7,000 this British designed and built bike will appeal to the collectors who like to stand out from the crowd.

Charterhouse are inviting further entries for this specialist veteran, vintage and classic motorcycle auction.
