A rare Edwardian Rex motorcycle is entered into the Charterhouse specialist auction of vintage and classic motorcycles on 9th October at The Haynes Motor Museum.
“One of the great parts of working in auctioneering is you see something new every day, and this is the first time I have set eyes of a Rex motorcycle!” Commented George Beale.
Rare 1911 Rex motorcycle £10,000-£15,000 in the Charterhouse vintage & classic motorcycle auction in October
The Rex Motorcycle was advertised in 1902 as King of Motor Bicycles, challenging any Motor Bicycle in the World of whatever HP weighing under 100 lbs for speed, hill-climbing and economy.
The Rex motorcycle at Charterhouse rolled out of their Coventry factory in 1911. The V-twin engine produced 5hp, quite healthy for an Edwardian motorcycle.
Consigned to Dorset based Charterhouse from a client in North London, the Rex has previously been restored. Only for sale due to poor health, this Rex has not been on the road recently and is estimated at £10,000-£15,000
Charterhouse are inviting further entries for this specialist vintage and classic motorcycle auction.
